When the Italian team won the FIFA world cup, the whole team and individual players became champions. F1 is a team sport and all members of the team are champions.
Exactly... there is no I in team. No individual can say they won and world championship for the entire team. Rubens was part of the world champion team for 5 years. He is a world champion.
That's why there is an individual driver's title to crown a champion. The team title is for the whole team, not an single person. He is not a champion
F1 is a team sport and every year the best team wins the team constructors title. Rubens was a member of the world champion team 5 times. He was 5 times world champion.

Almost but not quite there...... Ferrari were the 5 times Constructors world champions for that period. MS was the World Champion Driver for that period Rubens was a member of the team that won the championship 5 times, his hard work was valued by the team just as much as the team valued the hard work put in by all the designers, technicians, mechanics, office / logistical staff and everybody back at the factory in Maranello as well as all the people who worked for the suppliers who contributed to Scuderia Ferrari's success.
Actually in his last year his efforts were shall we say "less appreciated". This coming from an inside source of the team. Bernie, I love that picture, but please no animated pics on FChat. Sucks bandwidth.
Exactly... F1 is a team sport. Ferrari were world champions 5 times when Rubens was a member of the team. That makes him world champion along with all the other members of the team 5 times.
No Idiot it doesnt, it makes Scuderia Ferrari a world champion, Rubens Barichello is as much a 5 times world champion as Guisepe Bianchi the man who emptys the waste paper bins in the design office.
You know that name for sure or is it "bon trovato"? Reminds me of that most contrived of all MS' statements where he was thanking the cleaning lady at Maranello for helping him win the championship (she was probably thinking "nono, I cleaned the floor for Rubens!").
