Hey Ruben - Jenson getting you down

With a very bad start to the GP in Turkey Rubens Barrichello is determined to trounce his team-mate Jenson Button at next weekend's British Grand Prix.

Holding six victories out of seven Barrichello's team mate Button has a tough race ahead. That's an impressive win rate that saw him equal a record set by F1 greats such as Michael Schumacher.

"I don't want to just win the race. I want a hat-trick there. I want everything. I want fastest lap, I want pole position," the 37-year-old said.

"It just takes one second (to turn things around).

"With all my experience, I am very cool. Right now I am pissed off with the situation but tomorrow is another day, Silverstone is a great track for me and I will go there and try to win the race."

In fact there's a lot about Button's 2009 season that reminds Barrichello of his former Ferrari team-mate.

"It is almost like a Michael kind of thing, because things are opening right in front of him without much of a problem so it's really good for him," he said.

But even if it's a good thing for Button, Barrichello fully intends bringing his team-mate's winning streak to an end - and catching him in the Drivers' standings.

"I cannot see him (Button) running away. I cannot see that because we were so fair and square for all the three years together. One year he was better and the other year I was better," he said.

"So I don't see him better now and winning every race this season. At some point there will be a drop and I want to be there to conquer."
