Ex-F1 racer Rubens Barrichello feels lucky to be alive after tumour

Ex-Formula 1 racer Rubens Barrichello has revealed he feels lucky to be alive after his recent health scare and the discovery of a tumour on his neck.

The 11-time grand prix winner was rushed to hospital in February after suffering a severe headache at home.

He was released a few days later but subsequently had surgery to remove a benign tumour between races in the Brazilian stock car series in which he now competes.

Happy for that too, but it sounds like it was an aneurysm rather than the tumour that was the real threat.

Sounds truly frightening. Glad to hear he pulled through well, all things considered.

[messy]

Yep. Don't think we realised how serious this was at the time, really. One of the good guys.

[jannyg]

Jheeze stay well Rubens

[kumo7]

Glad he is alive and kicking.

[TomNokoe]

Thankfully he used up all of his bad luck in F1!

One of the good guys.

 

I guess you are lucky enough to have never had the misfortune of meeting him. Whenever I saw him he was always very nice and friendly as long as there was a camera pointing at him. Not one second more.

 

(I'm glad that he is well of course, I obviously don't wish him any health issues, I just don't think he is one of the good guys at all.)

Scary how things like that surprise you. Glad he's better

I've certainly heard tales about his nocturnal behavior that are a world apart from the wholesome family-man image he likes to portray. But none of us are angels, I guess. 

Get well soon Rubhino.

Exactly. It's fascinating to see how people are easy to judge drivers simply from how they show themselves in media:"this guy is nice, this one is an ass..." You never know what goes behind the scene.

Good to hear, Rubens was always one of my favourite drivers.
