Rubens Barrichello - Just how many GP has he actually finished?

[Canada Darrell™]

Ruben has competed in 314 Grand Prix events to date after Germany.

He has retired from 97 of those events or 30.89% of his starts!

He is only #4 on the all-time retirement list:

1 CESARIS Andrea      148     71.15% of all GP's retired from!!!!!!!!
2 PATRESE Riccardo    145     56.64% of all GP's retired from
3 ALBORETO Michele   102     52.58% of all GP's retired from
4 BARRICHELLO Rubens 97     30.89% of all GP's retired from

Michael Schumacher has 57 retirements representing a 20.5% rate from his 278 (2nd only to Rubens) total Grand Prix races to date.

Seriously?  Wow, I remember all three of those guys, but can't recall them DNF'ing so much.  Thanks for the stats Darrell. I somehow thought Rubens would be higher up this list.

DNF's were far more common in those days. The cars and engines were nowhere near as dependable as they are today.

Yeah, the Alfa that de Caesaris drove was pretty notoriously unreliable, though it was pretty fast.
