Rubens Barrichello never won the F1 World Drivers’ Championship, but he spent years making legends earn theirs. He was runner-up in 2002 and 2004 with Ferrari, playing wingman and occasional party crasher to a certain red-clad serial winner. Across a marathon career of 322 grands prix, he took 11 wins and 68 podiums, from the fairytale at Hockenheim 2000 to the late-career resurgence with Brawn GP in 2009. Think of him as the consummate pro: fast, adaptable, and annoyingly hard to keep behind. No title, sure—but a CV most drivers would trade their favourite visor for.
