A Baby Barrichello!

I have heard it announced today that Mr. and Mrs. Rubens are expecting their first bambino at the end the season.

Congratulations all round, and may this news inspire the Proud Papa to find those extra tenths!

At the end of the season?

You have to give the couple credit for their remarkable timing.

Careful - it might just make him go softer. Oh wait, maybe if he's committed enough he'll ask his wife to hold labour so he can focus on the championship! Hey, if Coulthard can do it... soory, if I was Heidi, I'd be horribly hacked off.

Liz · 15 Feb 2001, 21:52 (Ref:64956)

We'll see if Heidi hangs about and waits to see if DC changes his mind....

As for Rubens' timing - well, that is what racing is all about, eh? And if Erja could do it ...

It's called forward planning - the seasnon doesn't end until nine months time.

If it's a girl, maybe he could call her Michelle, after Michelin in anticipation of an impending change for Rubens tyres (whichever team he will drive for) next year).

Or if he stays at Ferrari he could call the girl Bridgette after their Bridgestone tyres

**Bononi** · 21 Feb 2001, 14:40 (Ref:65900)

If it's a boy, they're undecided between Miguel and Luca,
Miguel they nickname him as Mike (or Mika depending...)
if Luca, Ferrari boss man will be honoured...

No, no, no, definitely it´ll be a unisex name..., "Schumie"

massifheed · 21 Feb 2001, 15:31 (Ref:65907)

I dunno, Schumie sounds like a girl's name!!!

Which she didn't, by the way... I don't think it's been mentioned on here, but just to confirm, DC and Heidi have broken up.

On this topic, congratulations to Rubens and Silvana.

Do you think the baby will be able to cry as much as its daddy does?

Liz · 21 Feb 2001, 19:00 (Ref:65939)

Well then Heidi does have at least a couple of brain cells after all.

Are you thinking that if Rubens promises to name his firstborn after TGF, perhaps he might be allowed to win another race? For a boy I'd suggest Enzo. Enzo Barrichello has a nice ring to it. Then in the future he could race with Hugo. Hugo Haakinen and Enzo Barrichello. That has a nice sound too.

senna12 · 21 Feb 2001, 19:25 (Ref:65947)

Would he dare name him Ayrton???

Speed · 21 Feb 2001, 20:20 (Ref:65954)

MMMMMMmMmmmmmmmm......

What about these:

Barrichello, Thesecond.
Barrichello, Poorme.
Barrichello, Notfair.
Barrichello, Imscrewed
Barrichello, Moveover

Liz · 21 Feb 2001, 20:28 (Ref:65958)

Ayrton? Ooh, good thought. I hope not, though, for the poor child's sake. What a lot to live up to.

Valve Bounce · 21 Feb 2001, 22:33 (Ref:65990)

Enrique for a boy, Michelle for a girl. You guys obviously have not gone through the agony with a partner in choosing baby names!!

downforce · 22 Feb 2001, 09:50 (Ref:66047)

Whoa!

Ruub's baby is definitely gonna be good in the wet or rather a good wetter!!

A boy, its got to be Rick

2025...Rick vs Mick vs Hugo vs Bellybutton!!
