Rubens Barrichello is “feeling great” as he recovers in hospital after being admitted earlier this week.

Barrichello is still undergoing tests but says he is feeling much better already.
“I can see everyone is sending me messages and everyone is worried,” he said. “A long time not positing pictures and so on, so I decided to tell you.
“On Saturday I decided to wake up and have a shower. I felt a terrible headache.
“Luckily my wife was there and she called a friend doctor who took me to the hospital, they they took really good care of me.
“I had a small problem on a vein, but I want to tell you that I am feeling great.
“I am still going through exams and so on, but I am honestly great and the difficulties in life are the ones who show us how to grow and how to be better.
“I am so thankful, thank god for the opportunity and soon I will be back on the race track. So good to speak to you guys.”
