Brawn GP’s Rubens Barrichello won the European Grand Prix on Sunday to claim his first Formula One victory in five years.
The 37-year-old Brazilian took advantage of a costly pit-stop error by Lewis Hamilton’s McLaren team to record his 10th career win — his first since the 2004 Chinese GP — and boost his championship hopes. The Associated Press
At 37, Barrichello is the oldest regular driver in the series, and holds the record for the most races run in the series by any driver, with 281 races since he began racing in 1993.
The victory lifts Barrichello back into second place in the championship. His teammate, Jenson Button, who finished seventh, leads the series with 72 points, Barrichello is second with 54 points, Mark Webber is third with 51.5 points.
