    Poor old Rubens, he's unlucky! I'm sure they'll make him up a replica. He's bound to be upset about it, it's only his 6th ever win, unlike Michael who's probably built an extra wing onto his house just for his trophys!! :)

    Yeah, though he's got a great drive he really isn't respected within the Ferrari team as he should be. Apparently he's a real gentleman. I love to see him winning races, he always looks like he treasures it so much. Remember when he won his first race, Hockenheim 2000 I think, and he was in tears on the podium, he really deserved that win!

    Yep, As far as I remember it was pissin' down buckets that day & he was one of very few drivers not to cock-up.
    I hope he does well there this year aswell.

    Also on that day, another loon decided to go for a walk on the straight, prompting the safety car to come out...

    Thats right I think he was a track marshall who was sacked & he was protesting about it as far as I remember.
