The story goes on:

Rubens Barrichello is a driver for Honda F1 racing team. Following the death of Ayrton Senna in 1994, Rubens Barrichello inherited the hopes of Brazil's F1 fans. This massive responsibility together with his admirable yet unrewarding loyalty has meant that, despite a move to Ferrari, Rubens has largely failed to live up to the promise shown earlier in his career. Barrichello began his F1 life with Jordan in 1993 and went on to be their longest serving driver to date. He recorded a solid first season, though as a result of unreliable machinery and cruel luck, he finished in the points just once - at Suzuka. The following year he began in style with his first podium finish at Aida in the Pacific GP and a fourth in his home GP at Interlagos. Rubens' horrific crash in a Audi TT during Friday practice for the San Marino GP in 1994, was to prove a portent of what was to come that fateful weekend when Senna and Ratzenburger lost their lives. However, Rubens fought back, taking pole at Spa and finishing sixth overall in the race.
