Nice to see the 2002 Austrian Grand Prix transmission from Rede Globo.

When they made the move, meters away from the finish line, Cleber Machado (the narrator) spoke one of the most famous phrases of brazilian sporting media… he said “Hoje não! Hoje não! Hoje sim? Hoje sim…”, that means “Not today! Not today! Today again? Oh, Today again…” refering to the another race (don’t remember if it was in Canada or also in Austria) when Rubens had to back of, more discretely, to allow Micheal’s win…

He would have been better off going somewhere like Mclaren after Hakkinen left.

Or staying at Ferrari after Schumacher left…

Rubens may be underrated Jonatas, but he only has himself to blame. I like the guy, always have, but he knew that Schumacher controlled everything at Ferrari. He was never going to be allowed to try for the championship at ferrari while schumi was there. He would have been better off going somewhere like Mclaren after Hakkinen left.

Rubens definitely deserved to stay in F1 in 2009 and should this be his last year, he’ll at least have a chance to leave on a high note.

He has got to be one of the most underrated drivers of all time and in my opinion, one of the best never to have won it all.

I agree Matt, i HATE the new hockenheim. It’s more like a dtm race track than fully fledged f1 circuit.

The old Hockenheim looks much better than the new one

So underrated. Great driver and last of the true gents left in F1.

Plus he’s the only driver left on the grid to have raced against Senna…that’s a nice link back to the past.

Go Rubinho!!

I think Rubens has a good chance of taking the championship this year. Button will be his best challenge i feel.
Of course we shouldn’t forget it is early in the season and the rest of the teams could catch them both.

I can see a good championshipunfolding so long as the fia and bernie keep their noses out of it.

Off topic for a moment.

I hope that the Mclaren saga does not get blown out of all proportion and spoils the season.

And the possible departure of ron dennis from all of mclaren may help with that. But could that be so he can go up against Mosely for the presidency of FIA????? even though he said team bosses shouldn’t be president.

only time will tell.
