Having finally broken his year-long points duck with back-to-back top eight results, Rubens Barrichello is looking to make it a treble when the F1 circus heads to France this weekend.

The Brazilian failed to score a single point last season and carried on that trend in the opening races of this year's Championship, even being disqualified from a points-paying position in Australia.

However, the longest serving driver on the grid fought back at the Monaco GP, finishing in sixth place, earning his first three points of the campaign.

He followed that up with another top-eight result two weeks later in Canada, where he clinched seventh place to move ahead of his team-mate Jenson Button in the Drivers' standings.

Now after a strong test in Barcelona, which saw Barrichello in action on Friday and Saturday, the Brazilian is confident he can continue his good run of form at Magny-Cours this coming weekend.

"We had a good two days in Barcelona this week and were able to cover a lot of mileage. Without any major new test items, we focused on set-up work and I'm happy with the progress that we made," said Barrichello.

"We were able to improve the car mechanically which gives me a good feeling going into the French Grand Prix next weekend."
