    Agreed. It should be about Rubens and his true racing spirit. The guy come from a humble back ground and has become world champion 5 times. Stuff of legends.

    F1 is a team sport and Rubens has been part of the constructors world championship winning team 5 times.

    Anyone who thinks that F1 is not a team sport really missed the memo!

    He has not won 5 championships. Being part of the team or not, it was MS that did.

    Even Michael has admitted in several interviews that F1 is a team sport and that he could not have won those world championships without the help of his engineers, team mates, technical partners and the other members of Scuderia Ferrari.

    According to the official records Rubens was part of the F1 team that won the world championship 5 years in a row.

    He will always be a champion regardless of what you have to say.

    Yeah OK. Whatever MS says the fact is he never pulled over and let Rubens win a title did he? What would it matter to him it would be like MS winning the title right?

    In Case you have not noticed, there are two world championship titles in F1. There is a driver's championship where the individual racer wins and a constructors team title where the whole team wins.

    Rubens was part of the team that won the world championship 5 times. He was world champion 5 times.

    I guess the same thing goes for the lollipop man, the team cook and Schumy's spiritual consultant?

    No, Michael Schumacher won the driver's championship, FERRARI won the constructor's crown. Because Rubens was a part of the team makes him a world champion? What would be the point of having a driver's crown then? Rubens did contribute to that title but that goes to the whole team not any one individual. To call him a world champion, when even he knows he is no such thing, is just silly.

    The lollipop man is part of Scuderia Ferrari and the world championship team.

    F1 is a team sport. Anyone who thinks otherwise is living on another planet and watching another series.

    Yes a team sport with one champion, and number one drivers that have it written into the teams second drivers' contract that they must stay behind the number one driver at all times. Really sporting.

    But that doesn't make RB a Champion, just an important part of a winning team.

    ...like the cook,
    ...like the lollipop man,
    ...like the kid who sticks on the decals,
    ...like the gopher that fetches Ross fresh fruit.

    F1 is a team sport and every part counts.

    Imagine racing without
    ... the engine
    ... all tyres
    ... a pit crew

    Yeah but none of them are individual champions, that's why the driver's championship exsists.

    F1 is a team sport and every year the best team wins the team constructors title.

    Ruben was part of the team that won the world championship 5 times. The two racers make up an essential part of the team.
