Barrichello formerly held the fastest time by a Formula One driver around the Top Gear test track during the show's Star in a Reasonably Priced Car segment. His lap time of 1:44.3 put him ahead of The Stig by 0.1 seconds. This led to frequent references to The Stig developing a deep-seated hatred of Barrichello. His record was later beaten by Sebastian Vettel, who set a time of 1:44.0.
