Barrichello plots Silverstone suffering for Button


Winning is no longer enough for Rubens Barrichello after watching Brawn GP team mate Jenson Button celebrate his sixth win in seven races with a comfortable Turkish Grand Prix victory on Sunday.

The Brazilian, who says he loves Button as a person but hates him as a driver, plans to hit the Formula One leader where it hurts most -- in front of the Briton's home fans at Silverstone next week.

"I don't want to just win the race. I want a hat-trick there. I want everything. I want fastest lap, I want pole position," the 37-year-old told reporters after his failure to finish Sunday's race left him 26 points adrift of Button.

"It just takes one second (to turn things around).

"With all my experience, I am very cool. Right now I am pissed off with the situation but tomorrow is another day, Silverstone is a great track for me and I will go there and try to win the race," he added.

Barrichello has not won a race since 2004 when he was now-retired champion Michael Schumacher's sidekick and loyal number two at Ferrari.

Button's latest victory left most commentators trying to predict when the 29-year-old would wrap up the title.

The Briton is on course for the most dominant season on record, already ahead of Schumacher's 2004 form when the German won 13 times from in 18 starts after also chalking up six victories from the opening seven races.

Unlike Schumacher, who failed to finish his sixth race in Monaco that year, Button has dropped only four points from a maximum 65 available.

SCHUMACHER-LIKE

"It is almost like a Michael kind of thing, because things are opening right in front of him without much of a problem so it's really good for him," said Barrichello, whose race was destroyed by a clutch problem at the start on Sunday.

The Brazilian, who was third at Silverstone last year for Brawn's predecessors Honda, refused to give up hope, however.

"I cannot see him (Button) running away. I cannot see that because we were so fair and square for all the three years together. One year he was better and the other year I was better," he said.

"So I don't see him better now and winning every race this season. At some point there will be a drop and I want to be there to conquer."

Button, who has never finished higher than fourth at Silverstone, will be favourite for what is billed as the last grand prix at the circuit before Donington Park takes over.

However, unlike at Ferrari where he had to play second fiddle to Schumacher, Barrichello is free to race Button on level terms.

The two drivers even went to see team principal Ross Brawn, the former Ferrari technical director, before Sunday's race to have that situation confirmed to their satisfaction.

"Both of us went into Ross's office and just put the case to him and said that both drivers wanted to be free to race," Barrichello said.

"It was very good from Jenson, from me, from Ross. It was different in my Ferrari times.

"Until mathematically it is (over), it is (open). Tomorrow is another day."
