Rubens is a champion at last!

Nineteen years after he won the British F3 Championship, Williams driver Rubens Barrichello is celebrating another title here in Canada.

Barrichello was last night crowned champion in the Celebrity Sushi Eating Championship, held for the first time in a Formula 1… paddock, after wolfing down two pounds of the Japanese snack in 3min 12secs.

The plucky Brazilian saw off stiff competition from local boy Jacques Villeneuve, who spun on a piece of Gunkanmaki early on and fellow F1 foodie, Timo Glock, who having had a Medieval banquet for lunch had to retire with just a small Fugu and a cucumber wrap to go.
