What if it were Rubens??

Besides Kaz Nakajima and Heikki Kovalainen seem to have picked up the pace on the last day of testing. Although I'll support Brawn regardless of their result, I'd say nothing can be set in stone until we see the real pace of the cars Q3 in Melbourne.

Pos Driver Team Time Laps
1. Nakajima Williams-Toyota (B) 1:17.494 102
2. Kovalainen McLaren-Mercedes (B) 1:17.946 84

I agree with that...nothing's real until the first 'for keeps' session.

Button's rated more highly than Barrichello by most people, including the bookies, but last year Ruby scored all the points!

he was so unlucky, i think he maybe the first driver to win the most races and not win the title. that fact maybe the reason the points system is now adjusted.
