Piquet Affirms: Barrichello Signed with BAR

[Mers]

It was on Brazilian Newspaper ESTADO DE SÃO PAULO this morning.

Nelson Piquet, who claims to be very well informed, has confirmed that RUbens Barichello has signed with BAR...
This was probably made possible by Gil De Ferran, who is important in BAR, and by Frank Williams' insistence/demand/confirmation that Jenson WILL go to Williams 2006, because of Contract promise...
"I don't have to be the one telling Jenson that a contract means a contract. He will be racing for Williams in 2006" says williams.

Rubens has not denied it, however he has said "If that is true, then piquet knows more than I do"
There is no official denial from Ferrari, who has a contract with Rubens until December 06, and Barrichelo's father and lawyer's presence at the(Hockenheim)circuit usually lead to a change of teams...as has happened in the jordan-->stewart change, and stewart--->ferrari change in 1999...

With this change, Felipe Massa, from sauber, may become under the eyes of ferrari, although it is not sure. One thing that will help, is that Jean Todt's son, is Massa's manager....
things are getting hot...Rubens may yet have a chance to show his ability as N1 Driver (although i believe nothing will come out of this)
