If we are to believe that BGP are the hands down favorite in Austrailia, reliability not withstanding, What cases can be made for which driver will prove to be the better of the team?
We've seen Rubans dominated by MS but actually beat him at certain times... was it bad days for MS or a proof of his true talant.(results kinda say half & half). And how much was he truly limited by the team. We've also seen him race very well in the Stewart and Jordan teams. I would give him the nod as the better driver in is time at Honda thus far but that isnt saying much.
Button seems to have given up on racing in the Honda the last 2 years(hard to blame him) but has that diminished his race craft? Button has both shown to have been an above average F1 driver with his time on the grid, can be very consistant.
So who will take it between the two if this is indeed Brawn GP's year... or at least the first 4(this year) flyaway races to kick off the season.
Rubans today:"I have waited a long time to find a team that gives me the conditions of Ferrari but the freedom to not have to race only for Schumacher.”
He has also claimed to have lost 5 kilos.
