I think this is just a Schumacher family trait.
He's trying to out-psyche a potential rival.
Of course Rubens should drive for himself. What if another 'Silverstone '99' happened? RB would be 'The Man'. He needs to establish himself as as equal to MS as possible, in order to achieve team support. He's already seen as a team player - to wit Ross Brawns statement last week about Irvine. Perhaps Michael is unsettled by this. This is his fourth year (At $20m per year) and still no WDC. Michael must see a replacement in training.
Perhaps Michael persauded Ralf (How, after Spain, I don't know!) to knock Rubens down a few pegs.
What else has Ralf to gain?
