rubens just has bad luck!
same as DC
so does mclaren favour hakkinen?
they favoured MS so they made RB another DNF so that DC and HK can have more points??? come on... it doesn't make sense!
rubens just has bad luck, no conspiracy here

Ace, I think that you feelings against MS are making you totally senseless. It sound foolish that Ferrari is going to give up a race wil, 10 points in the CWC nad benefit a McLaren 1-2 to promote MS to third.

As per Rubens outqualifing MS, it is something possible, it will ocuur two or three times this season, but that does not make Rubens better or Michael worst, it is just luck, strategy or preference for one circuit or another.

This is just a little theory of mine, probably not applicable to this situation, but could it be possible that some component failures are caused by the driver? If one driver goes hard and throws the car around, while the driver who smoothly guides it and is easy on the machine is more likely to come home with the car in one piece.

Maaaaan you nit the hail on the dead...er..i mean the bail on the bed..eeesh no what was that sail on the lead ?? eeeks whats happenin'...the pit on the ped...no no now c'mon willya !?? aaah yes ...YES !!

The nail-on-the-head....phew!

...and believe me its not the last weve seen of Dusbin Barrichello's antics !!!
Brazillian magazine says Dusbins fav band is AC/DC...so "blow up my viiideeeo !!!"

Its not that i hate Dusbin but in F1 one has to understand that u have to be upto the Jacques/Heinz/Hakks class of drivers to even think (imagine) of comparing ones talent with Michaels'. Gotit?

freud has a lot of promise if they can keep it on the circuit!
Downforce, it must be tough for you watching a 'dustbin' make MS look like a pony during this weekend. Is it that the dustbin has a 1 second faster car with traction control?

How about this:

This could turn into a chicken / egg type thing, so forgive me...

These figures represent yearly salaries in British Pounds

Michael Schumacher £19.1m
Rubens Barrichello £3.5m

Mika Hakkinen £6.3m
David Coulthard £1.7m


Is it just possible that the teams are behind the No.1 drivers because of the money it's cost them (... or their sponsors )?

Or is it that the driver has to earn the wages by producing the goods the previous year? If so, why does MS command THREE times what the World Champion does?

I suggest that it's simply a case of a team doing all it can for it's primary player, and the second man (the substitute if you like) is there to clean up after a mess!

Geez, I must be loosing my mind! I thought that that Rubins lost it in a turn, then did a really bad donutand a half, then went across a bunch of really soggy grass at slow speed. That lead to his car breaking. Thanks for enlightening me about the subversive goings on at Ferrari. How could I have missed it?

If Ferrari wanted RB to play second fiddle to Michael Schumacher, like you all seem to think they do... well RB would get equal equipment - so as to stop the McLaren's taking away points from Michael and IF he was in front, just move over.

that hasn't happened. RB's car broke (some say it was a driver error, I don't think so) cars break you know

Well it was probably a macaroon hacker with a Gr092 remote control flipping the hydraulic servos so cubehead-jawbone could take the lead and then give it over to no more tears so that the reasonable theory of highest $$$driver gets +++equipment proved true. But ego gets in the way. Dustbin just can't win, the macaroons and his own team is against him. Poor sap.
