Michael Schumacher: Barrichello says F1 champion 'is always with him'
Rubens Barrichello spoke about his former teammate Schumacher while recovering from an operation
The 11-time Grand Prix winner, who was rushed to hospital in February to remove a tumour, reportedly mentioned former teammate Schumacher in the operating room.
Barrichello admitted to a special relationship between him and his ex teammate, and said: “There must be something in my subconscious. Our connection is not just on television.”
Schumacher, 49, and Barrichello, 45, raced side by side for Ferrari between 2000 and 2005 and competed in 105 races together.
The pair enjoyed a tumultuous relationship at the time, with Barrichello once accusing Schumacher of benefitting from team orders.
Fans feared the worst when Barrichello was rushed to hospital earlier this year after he collapsed in the shower with a searing headache.
