Default Rubens vs Button

With the results of the Italian GP the likelyhood of a Brawn WDC is even more highly possibly..............which one would you cheer for?

Rubino ! has always been one of my favorite drivers. I think he truly loves his job.

I'll cheer for Rubens, but I really doubt he'll overcome the point deficit.

+1 I like both drivers, so I'd be happy for either. I think JB is going to win it.

I wonder what Ross would say if he were asked this question.

Logically, he would probably say Button, just based on the math.
Emotionally, based on his years with Rubens at Ferrari, he would probably say Rubens.

I'd like to see Rubens win the WDC, it would be quite a story....IMHO a much bigger story than if Button won it...although Button losing the WDC after winning 6 of the first races would a story as well.

Rubens. I picked him for WDC based on Brawn's pace back in March.

Button. I've been hoping he would get a good car for many years now. I have nothing against Rubens as he is a great guy and very experienced, but I just like Jenson more (despite his face pubes)

Rubens FTW. Great guy and one hell of driver. Consistent has been his mantra and now its paying off.

Ruben is the only real challenge now to Golden Spoon , as soon as Brawn is comfortable with this , Ruben's will suddenly be back to his ole unreliable self with poor pit strategy, race fixing is only practiced by Renault ....

Golden Spoon is a putz and doesn't deserve a WDC , Ross will favor Button as he did in the beginning before Golden spoon ran out of talent . A WDC from Button is worth more to the coffers than one for Ruben and since Ross spents years at Ferrari Pegging Ruben for you know who.

There is no emotions attached nor love lost over RB losing the WDC .......

Funny how quickly Rubens has become the favorite ...

I've been saying for years if Button had a decent car under him he'd win the WDC.

There is something about JB that just doesn't sit well with me. I'm rooting for Rubens.
