After Lewis made his first pit stop and they started talking about the Brawns being on a on one stop strategy, I knew, I knew, that Rubens was set to hoist himself up into the top three; possibly even the win. The big question was, would the team pull the dick move of delaying him just a touch in the pits to let Jenson leap frog? Or would Jenson pull a Schumacher and put in a stellar in and out lap to pull the lead?

Everything played out. Ruben’s gear box (that caught on fire two laps from the finish of the last race) held up and it was his second victory of the year. Bigger yet, the old man has out raced Jenson in the last five races.

I don’t have big hopes that he’s going to catch and pass Jenson for the championship. I’m certain Jenson and the team feel that any wins Rubens can take, mean that Jenson’s rivals aren’t getting them. It’s almost a certainty that this will be Rubinho’s last season, so I get crazy stoked that I can watch him go out on a high.
