Default What Could Rubens Have Accomplished Without Ferrarri? - 07-02-2003 , 11:58 AM






Who thinks Rubens would have had more victories with another team? He
was clearly a rising star at Stewart with three podiums in 1999 alone.
He did get a dream job, and they have allowed him the odd victory ,
when it did not clash with Michael's championship run.

Would he have fared better with another team where he would not have a
2 on his hat?

Rubens always struck me as a driver who needed lots of love from his
team... I can see him at Jordan, but realistically he would not have
fitted in at any of the top teams... can you imagine Ron or Frank
signing any driver whose psychological makeup allowed him to sign a
contact where he wasn't allowed to race the number 1 driver?

He does not have the charisma to bcom the number 1 driver. F1 is a bit
showbiz too...

Spa '98, Australia '99 (?)...

I believe Australia 99? was a deal made between the two drivers (without
the knowledge of the team) to decide the outcome of the race in the first
corner.
Later on during the race, I also understand it to be the unilateral
decision of David to let Mika past, again without the knowledge of
the team.
