Rubens Barrichello has acknowledged that retirement from formula one is 'closer than ever'.
Behind Michael Schumacher, the 34-year-old Brazilian is the most experienced driver on today's grid, and with nearly 230 Grand Prix is third on the list of most experienced of all time.
But Barrichello, who joined Honda this year after six years at Ferrari, admitted to Auto Bild that he is not likely to trouble Riccardo Patrese's all-time record of 256 race starts.
That gives him less than two seasons left in F1. Rubens Barrichello has acknowledged that retirement from formula one is 'closer than ever'.

"I love this sport," Barrichello said, "but I do not want to break Patrese's record. It will be one of the saddest decisions of my life."
