Barrichello - Keeping expectations in check

After Brawn GP's dream start with great times during testing and topping the timing sheets most days, it's no wonder people are getting ahead of themselves and predicting race wins for the team.... heck even world championships (Jenson Button 4/1). But lets not forget how much of a hard time they have had during these few months and how lucky the team is to be on the grid this season.
Rubens Barrichello has insisted that the team will not be getting carried away with the teams prospects as they didn't have a full winters testing. "We have only six days of testing behind us, so every prediction is a gamble," Barrichello told Gazzetta dello Sport. "We keep our feet on the ground, even though we know we have a quick and reliable car." - "So Melbourne could spring a surprise. We are the team that has shone most in testing, and I've come here with great confidence."
He Believes that starting the production of the car early has now started to pay off and is also making up for the frustrating times at Honda.
"Especially the last two seasons were very disappointing, it looked like there was no limit to the worst," he said. "At the end of 2005 I left Ferrari to find a team with whom to fight for the championship without someone always telling me what to do, when I could win and when I couldn't.
"But up until now I've never had a good car to go for it: the Honda from the last two years was almost an insult.
"Now I have a truly competitive car, in a small yet high-quality team. We've spent four months at home to make developments, we knew where to change and what to fix. Now it's the right time to take it to the track and win. I can do it."
