Barrichello was alongside Schum🃏acher during his era of glory at Ferrari when he won five F⭕ormula 1 championships in a row.

Barrichello won nine grands prix during those years, and twice finished as runner-up in the F1 standings, but felt the wra♒th of the legend who was out-racing him.

“I always made friends and I’ve always ꦦhad a good relationship with all my teammates,” Barrich🐻ello said on the podcast.

“But he was never supportive.

“He was never there to offer help, so I never 🌳asked.

“Mic✅hael was different. He was a bit naive in the way that he worked.

“So many times, we would finish a meeting and then they would startꦑ another one with just Michael there! 

“So I took my chair and would just sit there!

“Eventually I felt that the team was his.”

Berni♚e Ecclestone made claims that Barrichello’s Ferrari contract included clause stating he was not allowed to race his teammate.

But he now says to that he told Ferrari that he wouldn’t sign if he had to "leꦗt Michael go ahead".

“I didn’t want to si🤪gn. My contrac⛦t said nothing about that.

"For my benefit, I accepted so many things. There ♋were many things I did not 💫accept, but some I did because I saw I was growing there.

"For six years I saw I was going forward𒁃 and my time was coming𒁃.”

Ultimatel♌y Barrichello played a role 𝓀in one of F1’s greatest-ever eras.

“I alwaysꦅ say he was better than me, no doubt,” he said about Schumacher.

“But because he was already there from ’96, he had four years, he had gone through the injury, and obviously Jean Todt considered ꦫhim like a son. 

“So it was 💎tough for someone new to come in and say ‘ok give me the꧅ freedom'.”
