You could say the same for Button, that he has been unlucky with his team choices etc. But this year it seems they both have a car to be competitive in.
The fact that Barichello spent all those years at Ferrari and failed to come away with a championship suggests that either he simply isn't good enough or he did not have the guts to move teams and give his all for a championship title. If Jens had the chance to drive a Ferrari when they were as competitive as they were when shue was around he may have given a better fight than Barichello did??

Move where, exactly? McLaren were satisfied with the Raikkonen/Coulthard pairing and before that the Hakkinen/Coulthard pairing. Similarly, for a period at least, Williams were satisfied with the Schumacher/Montoya pairing. His options at the end of 1999 were really either to go to Ferrari where he could win races or else end up stuck with Jaguar and have never won a single race, which would be totally undeserved.

He knew the score when he signed for Ferrari. So why is he going to release a tell all book bout it?

What relevance does that have to what I wrote?

Maybe there's more to it than we know? I couldn't say - I wasn't there and I don't know Rubens personally.

Ah, no sorry it wasn't leading on from what you were saying, it was just raising another issue for the the thread.

Barrichello was not allowed to challenge Schumacher. He was there to follow him to pick up some additional points for the team and be Schumacher's rear gunner. If Button went to Ferrari, he would have been Schumacher's tea boy as well.

Or sacked, which is apparently what Rubens was threatened with at Austria.
