Says Rubens Barrichello
Rubens Barrichello thinks his new Honda RA106 will be up to the task of winning races.
The 33-year-old Brazilian, who has switched from Ferrari after six years of being Michael Schumacher`s number two, has been one of the revelations of recent winter tests, and tasted the top of the times on the first day at Valencia this week.

Rubens, who initially spent a day in the 2005 BAR, told Italy`s La Gazzetta dello Sport: ``The car is good -- better than last year`s. In my opinion, I will be able to fight for victories with this car.

``I am very ambitious and I left Ferrari because I want to finally become Champion.``

Even with the highly rated Jenson Button as teammate, Barrichello - who won 9 races for Ferrari - is gushing about his new Honda team.

In an exclusive translation of the interview, Barrichello continued: ``With Honda, I can win. Everything I have seen so far confirms this feeling -- the people are motivated, the team has the financial and technical means, and the RA106, from the very first lap, has shown as one of the quickest.``
