Golfing for charity

Rubens Barrichello spent his day off the track on Tuesday playing a charity golf tournament in Brazil.

The Brazilian driver appeared in the Ayrton Senna Institute tournament in Sao Paulo, site of this Sunday's Brazilian Grand Prix.

Barrichello finished 37th among more than 100 amateur golfers at the Clube de Campo de Sao Paulo.

``It's a busy week so it's good to relax a bit playing golf,'' Barrichello told reporters. ``I wished I had more time to practise my game, though.''

Barrichello has nine Formula One victories, but none at the Brazilian Grand Prix.

``I don't come with the expectation to win like I came the last six years with Ferrari, but I still feel like I can do a good job at home.''
