I removed the comment about him being the "newest" Brazilian star as he isn't (that mantle goes to Massa). And I don't think he is unpopular amongst Brazilians, so I removed that too. If I am wrong, put it back, but provide a source.Damian Corrigan 18:38, 18 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Italian origin

What does "of Italian origins" mean? Are his parents Italian? Or it's just that "Barrichello" sounds Italian? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 200.125.34.151 (talk) 21:34, 9 February 2007 (UTC).

His family is from Treviso, as is duly referenced. Macgreco 00:16, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

The information was here already, anyway, in the references section. Rubens's greatgreat-grandfather was Italian. Macgreco 00:20, 21 February 2007 (UTC)
