If he what? If he beats Rubens? Or wins the title?
If he beats Rubens, then i still dont rate him. Mainly because i dont rate Rubens and i think if Jenson doesnt beat Rubens then hes doing badly.
If he wins the title, it depends how its done. If he goes out on equal footing (or a worse car) than Alonso/Kimi/Schumacher/whoever and wins it, then fu*king top notch! Full credit! If he does a Damon Hill or JV and has the chance practicly handed to him on a plate and then still almost screws it up then he wont jump up much in my opinion of him.
Jensons a good driver. But currently hes no where near as good as Kimi, Alonso, Schumacher, or even Montoya or fisichella. The performances put in by Alonso and Kimi this year were so far ahead of everyone else. Alonsos maturity through the whole year and Kimis, well, stunning speed and display of skill on several occasions was a great example of what a champion needs to do. Jenson doesnt display that. Hes by no means a bad driver, hell no. Hes far better than Sato or Ralf or any random back of the grid driver that Midland have picked up, i just dont think hes good enough for a championship.
