Barrichello to IndyCar?

[norman156]

Just a test at the moment so it's early days. Whatever you think of the idea, at least it means he's ruled out doing something undignified to stay in F1 like taking a seat at HRT....

Yup. would be good for him to right a decent in a decent team- he was winning races in 2009!

Barrichello and Kanaan would make a great team together.

Would certainly be good news for the series.

I hope he doesn't do it. Decent career in F1, weathy man with a family. Why take the significant safety risk that racing in IndyCar is? Pointless. Let it go Rubens.

Only 4 ovals for 2012 though. Not sure what the plan is for 2012 but wasnt there talk of limiting top speeds and also fitting 'bumpers' for the oval tracks?

They would fit a seat even for a 2 day test. It's not a massive job or expensive to do.

It's been reported his wife asked him not to race ovals
So if he does race he will skip those rounds.
