Important parts:

Without Honda, Barrichello could go to "Stock"

The rumours say that Barrichello is negotiating with Vogel Motorsport, one of the biggest teams on the championship. The team has one seat avaiable, and the other is already taken by Thiago Camilo. People say that Mauro Vogel (team owner) said that wouldn't talk with any other driver, till Barrichello destiny at F1 wasn't finished.

Still, Vogel said to GrandePremio.com.br: "We have contact with him, yes, but not of this nature".

Barrichello was on Interlagos, at the last round of the Nextel Cup (Brazilian V8 Stock Car top championship). He said that if he didn't managed to get one more year at F1, would spend 2009 in Brazil probably driving on sports cars (Porsche Cup, GT3 Brazil, Endurance, Maserati Trofeo, ... there are lots of options)

Plus some people already mentioned that if Barrichello went back to Brazil, to drive on Nextel Cup, sponsorship wouldn't be a problem. LG, HSBC and Caras are already his local sponsors.

EDITED: Just in case you want to see the car he could end up driving

It won't surprise if he does do this. He's spent long enough in F1, and he's not exactly young anymore (For an F1 Driver)

He has been very vocal about wanting to stay in F1...this would be less a decision of his own and more of the team's.

He's also just as good (if not better) than his teammate.
