Rubens Barrichello has admitted he is likely to stay in Brazil’s stock car championship next year.<\/p>\n
Amid rumours he had put together a sponsorship package for 2014, the former Ferrari and Williams driver had admitted he was keen to return to F1 after a two-year absence.<\/p>\n
But Monisha Kaltenborn then strongly denied Barrichello, 41, could be paired with inexperienced Russian rookie Sergey Sirotkin at Sauber next season.<\/p>\n
And Barrichello is now hinting he will definitely stay in stock cars in 2014.<\/p>\n
“With the team and the sponsors we are thinking of a renewal,” he told Jovem Pan radio at the Curitiba race at the weekend.<\/p>\n
“That is the nearest future: a renewal in stock car,” Barrichello added.<\/p>\n
He admitted, however, that he often misses racing in F1, after the longest grand prix career in the sport’s history.<\/p>\n
“But I am also a very happy person,” said Barrichello.<\/p>\n
“Now, when I finish the race, I go home at 5pm to my family.\u00a0 My quality of life has changed for the better, so what you lose in one hand, you gain in the other.”<\/p>\n
