Rubens seemed to have a very promising futur prior to 2000. But his performance since joining Ferrari has been completely lack-luster. Not that I expected him to be as good as TGF, but I would at least have thought that he would have been closer in lap times then he is.
And this raises the question, is it easy to overrate a driver when they drive for a mid-field team. Had you asked me in 1999 if I thought that Rubens could be a WC in the right car I would have said "absolutely". But now I can only say that I don't see it ever happening. Frentzen was a very inferiour #2 driver at Williams, but then when he joined Jordan in 99, it seemed to blossom his career(although since then things have gone back downhill for him). Can driving a midfield car make a driver look better then he is?.
