Hey Doug, this is what i meant. here is another comment by RB(below)
Hey dummy new guy: if Honda or Toyota, are to be the new dominant, and lets say its Honda, which I know it will be. and RB signed a 2 yr, but JB signed a 5 year. Who do you think will be WC?? If you say RB, I suggest you head back to soap opera land. You say JB is over rated.... You cant be considered over rated until you dont win in a car capible of winning, to now, JB has NOT had a car capible of winning the WC..that is fact.
Departed Ferrari driver Rubens Barrichello admits that the Maranello team is designed to win championships for six-year teammate Michael Schumacher.
The 33-year-old Brazilian, who will christen his new Honda tenure with a maiden test next week, told Autosport that leaving the red team is very much a case of 'moving forwards'.
But he does admit that Germany's seven time world champion is special.
''I think, talent for talent, Michael probably has a bit more,'' Rubens conceded, ''(but I) did quite well to survive, and to always promote the harmony inside of the team.
'But up to a point ... you lose a little bit of patience and you see that you're getting nowhere, so it was time to leave.''
It's a rare thing to hear a top driver admit that his former teammate had more talent. On second thoughts, then, Barrichello returns to the theme that Ferrari is very tuned to the German.
He contended: ''If you throw us at the beginning of a team with the same everything, I can probably do very well. I think I can be world champion as much as he can.''

it will all be said and done with, come 65 days or so (marco had the exact count, i can't remember exactly) days from now..
and we'll all see..
I'm more inclined to see how Rubinho does vs. Massa, as Massa has inherited all of Rubinho's engineers, mechanics, staff and car. Just something to watch as well as the Button match up

There was a post on this board a while back with a link to an article that compared MS vs RB on the same track, corner by corner. It had very detailed telemetry data, throttle trace, braking, etc. I wish I could find it. It clearly showed where and how MS was superior to RB.
Also, I am sick of hearing how Ferrari designed the car for Schumacer and that is the reason why Rubens hasn't been successful. JV used the same excuse at Sauber last year, saying the car wasn't set up for him etc.
Good drivers adapt themselves to the car; look at JPM, he jumped into the Mclaren from Williams and did very well given his limited seat time. By the end of the season he was close to Kimi's pace.

My cable company does not cover it!
Some cable companies include Speed TV on basic cable, but all should carry it on Digital cable.
Speed TV is the ONLY licenced network to carry F1, except for the maybe 4 GP's that will be on CBS, ABC, NBC, like the past few seasons.
You have
60 days, 14 hours and change til 1st Friday practice
good luck!!!
