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.

As I said, I've got no idea what the reasons are.

I do know that when Rubens was largely outperforming Jenson during the dark days of 2007 and 2008 the mid-level guys simply dismissed his performance as desperate acts by a guy fighting for his career and not a reflection of his abilities. When Jenson did well of course it was because of his pure talent. As far as the UK side of the team were concerned they were desperate to kick him out even in favour of Senna, who IMO is nowhere near as good as either Rosberg or Rubens.

It also adds some context to Rubens' rants earlier on in the season when he suggested that there was a conspiracy at the team to get Button to win. He probably felt that way because he felt that dislike from certain sections of the team.
