Take That Rubens!

Dale Calkins

It looks as though Rubens Barrichello's move from Ferrari to Honda was not a wise one for him. The Brazilian's performances so far this year have been rather poor, showing that perhaps the Ferrari car had to over componsate for Rubens' lack of talent. This is what Barrichello had to say after his lackluster Malaysian Grand Prix:

"I didn't expect it to be like this, but I am still hoping to get it right and win with this team."

When Rubens had originally left Ferrari, he stated that he could win World Championships with the team, but that most certainly won't be the case this year. With his new team mate Jenson Button sitting second in the World Championship, Rubens' performances seem even worse and means that the car is not likely to blame.

It looks as though Ferrari had made Rubens look better than he actually is. Though, the season is still young and hopefully he can manage to not make a total fool of himself.
