A Formula One victory in Brazil has always eluded Rubens Barrichello, in fact other than third this year, and fourth in 1994, the local boy has never finished the Brazilian Grand Prix.
At the weekend, the Ferrari star finally managed to make it to the top step of the podium, albeit for a kart race.
Rubens, along with teammate, IRL Champion Tony Kanaan, Daniel Wheldon and Felipe Giaffone, won the 500-mile race in Sao Paulo.
Gil de Ferran and Helio Castroneves finished second, while Juan Pablo Montoya and Antonio Pizzonia could only manage 57th!
