Rubens Barrichello flaunted Brazil's World Cup soccer win by wearing a T-shirt with the result on it at a British Formula One Grand Prix news conference on Thursday.

Asked whether he had discussed his country's defeat of Germany with German teammate Michael Schumacher, he replied: "Oh yes, see," and lifted his Ferrari top to reveal a yellow shirt with 2-0 on it underneath.

"Made specially for him," he added. "After the game I tried to call him everywhere but he wasn't anywhere. I don't know where he was."

However, Barrichello said that he drew the line at imitating Brazilian striker Ronaldo's shaven hair style.

"I was afraid that my hair wouldn't grow any more."
