One's home race is always important and nowhere is that more evident than for Rubens Barrichello at the Brazilian Grand Prix->ke978. It hasn’t been the greatest season for the veteran driver, but he hopes for a good showing over the weekend.

The Brazilian born driver, in the effort to have the best car possible, has equipped his Williams with a brand new engine, as power and the right setup are key to a strong race finish.

"The Williams tends to suit Brazil, and I have a new engine for this race," explained Barrichello to Sky Sports. "Achieving a good set-up and qualifying result is important, but it's not always easy to set the car up - you need strong traction and balance."

The Brazilian Grand Prix has long been either the final or the penultimate race of the Formula One->ke190 season and it has never disappointed. The track is fast and features some fantastic corners that really test the car and driver.

We'll see if Rubens can pass that test when the race gets underway.
