That doesn't make a ton of sense for either party involved ..I wonder how that came to be :s
this has been aroud for a few weeks if nico rosberg went to brawn gp then it would be rubens to williams
On Euro News they showed Massa talking and Rubens arriving and unveiling his Brazilian Grand Prix helmet design - they did not confirm a Williams contract but just that it is speculation.
Until Rubens or Williams say so it is not a fact yet.
Just because you haven't seen it doesn't it mean its not true!Quote:

If it is true, I wonder how Rubens will handle it mentally.
He seems a bit of a soft character who needs mental support and Williams is not known for baby-sitting their drivers like that.
But would be good to see him continue in F1 for a few more years.
I think it's mostly due to the Mercedes connection. Otherwise it makes no sense at all!
Too many pieces of the jigsaw are still missing. Will Jenson stay on at Brawn? Will Kimi go to McLaren?
Until those drivers are confirmed in their seats (or to be leaving) the smaller players will just have to sit on their hands and wait.
For my money, if Williams lost Nico Rosberg to Brawn, Rubens would be a good choice. He has a reputation as a driver who can set up a car quickly - which could help Nico Hulk move into F1 quickly. You don't want a newbie like the Hulk trying to lead the team, or worse get Button as a team mate who seems clueless about setup.
