Well for one thing, JB hasn't proven himself capable of beating MS in a straight fight, in the same car. Also, Rubens has proved himself as a regular race winner; JB has only won one single race, and it could be argued that that win was a lucky one. As Gav pointed out above, each team Rubens drove for before Honda made great progress forwards while he was driving for them; Ross Brawn told Rubens after the British GP in 2000 that he'd done more to help Ferrari in four race meetings than Eddie Irvine had done to help them in four seasons. Argue with that?
Also, tell me why you think he's fake?
How you can see it as a pleasure that a talented driver and a genuinely good guy is being left behind by the sport before his time mystifies me.
