I wouldn't either but Rubens has history with the Brackley boys, they don't like him, never have and never will.

I have no idea why that is, certainly its not based on his performance on track when even during the bad years he kept Button honest.

Rubens was Honda's choice, they wanted him but the British based management and mid-level guys didn't want him. I thought his days were numbered after Honda left but Ross clearly wanted a safe pair of hands on the second car so he stayed. Now I suspect that even if he wins the championship (hope he does) there's not much Ross can do to keep the team from kicking him out, especially if their engine maker wants another driver in.

Why would the team dislike him? They were all chearing when he got pole yesterday.

I'd imagine aswell that the British based managment were over the moon when (if) they were told they HAD to have Barichello therefore having to drop Sato.

Personally I'm looking forward to seeing Raikkonen back at Mclaren next season but if he doesn't then I'd be pleased that Rubens could stay at Brawn.
