Who was Marinello's greatest non world champion, Eddie Irvine or Rubens Barrichello? Irvine nearly won the world champion in 1999 when he gave Ferrari its first constructors championship since 1983. Rubens Barrichello is F1's most experienced driver and was the first Brazilian to win since Ayrton Senna. Irvine clearly won a world championship while Barrichello was runner up twice.
