Rubens Barrichello is a legendary professional racing driver from Brazil with 38 recorded laps across 38 vehicles on LapMeta—perfect one-to-one ratio characteristic of professional systematic vehicle testing. Born May 23, 1972 in São Paulo, Barrichello is one of Formula 1's most accomplished drivers, competing from 1993-2011 with 322 Grand Prix starts (a record at his retirement), 11 Grand Prix victories, and 68 podium finishes. He finished runner-up in the Formula 1 World Championship in 2002 and 2004 with Scuderia Ferrari, partnering Michael Schumacher during Ferrari's dominant era.

His F1 career began with Jordan in 1993, followed by Stewart Grand Prix (1997-1999), Ferrari (2000-2005), Honda (2006-2008), Brawn GP (2009), and Williams (2010-2011). His first Grand Prix victory came at the 2000 German Grand Prix at Hockenheim—remarkably winning from 18th on the grid by staying on dry-weather tyres during rain, the longest any driver had waited for a maiden win at the time. Before F1, he won the British Formula 3 Championship in 1991, defeating David Coulthard. His LapMeta data shows 37 laps at CCW configuration and 1 lap CW—systematic vehicle comparison methodology. After F1, Barrichello became two-time Stock Car Pro Series champion in Brazil (2014, 2022). With 38 laps across 38 vehicles, Rubens Barrichello represents Formula 1 royalty whose championship-level expertise informs ongoing professional vehicle testing and competitive racing.
