Poor Rubens...and fans of Rubens!

I should probably drop this subject, but I just read the headline story on www.f1-live.com today and it talks about how Rubens is optomistic for next season and for the upcoming race at Monaco. Unfortunatly for him, to only way to drive to victory is if Schumacher crashes or breaks down, which is a rarity for him this season. I wonder if there are any Rubens fans in this forum and whether they think it is even worth rooting for him when they know he has no chance to succeed. I like BMW-Williams and Sauber, and I know they'll probably lose to Ferrari this year in both championships, but there is still hope that they could improve, and it is fun to watch their driver compete. Any Barichello (sp?) fans want to express their opinions?
