SILVERSTONE, ENGLAND -- Rubens Barrichello's first victory of the season had a familiar and bizarre twist. The Ferrari driver started from the pole, fell back, and rallied to win the British Grand Prix yesterday in a race disrupted on the 12th lap when a man ran onto the track.

Barrichello, who three years ago won German Grand Prix after a protester walked on the track, finished 5.4 seconds ahead of Juan Pablo Montoya of Williams-BMW. Yesterday, drivers were forced to swerve around the unidentified man, who was wearing a kilt and carrying a sign.

The man jogged toward a high-speed corner and was on the track for approximately 20 seconds before being dragged off by security guards. Police said he would be charged with aggravated trespass.

Barrichello became the seventh winner in 11 Formula One races this season. The win was the sixth of his career and first since the U. S. Grand Prix in September when teammate Michael Schumacher slowed to give him the victory.

Barrichello had tears in his eyes on the podium.

"It always very hard to listen to the Brazilian anthem and not cry," he said. "When I am on the podium in first place, I still remember my father who sold his car so I could start racing."

Montoya finished second for the third straight race and Kimi Raikkonen was third in a McLaren-Mercedes. Michael Schumacher was fourth and saw his lead over Raikkonen slip to seven points, 69-62, with five races left. Montoya is third with 55 points.

Raikkonen moved into the lead on the 30th lap, but Barrichello was able to pass with a daring move on the 42nd lap.

"First, I knew I had a car fast enough to pull away," Barrichello said. "I took advantage of my car to pass cars. I almost lost my nose. It was fair, but it was aggressive."

Jacques Villeneuve of Iberville, Que., was 10th.

"Today has been disappointing after the good Saturday we had," he said. "I wasn't able to finish in the points, but as least the team got a championship point, which is very important."
