Rubens regrets

Ferrari driver Rubens Barrichello has accepted that his tyre gamble did not pay off as he struggled to fourth place at the Malaysian Grand Prix.

While team-mate Michael Schumacher led from pole to record his second victory of the season, Barrichello was unable to repeat the Ferrari one-two of Australia after opting for a harder tyre compound.

Barrichello revealed that his tyres lost grip in the first few laps, leaving him struggling to keep up with Schumacher.
