    I think it would be pretty darn cool if Rubens won it (he will be there, right?).

    I think it would make IndyCar drivers look pretty darn bad if Rubens won it.

    I don't agree. If Rubens were to come out and dominate the season, then I can see that sentiment. But Rubens coming over and being competitive and winning some races doesn't lessen the quality of drivers in IndyCar to me.

    I agree with you DBell. If he came over LAST year, when all the teams had baseline data on their cars and won, it might make the other drivers look bad. But given the current situation I don't think it would cast any real shadow. At this point anyone can jump up with a little luck and hard work.

    The whole thing is new to Rubens; And there's no need to think he would have an advantage, because he competed 19 seasons in F1. I wish him the best though, he's a nice guy and I hope to see him doing well.

    It would be nice if he could do it; Scott Dixon also won immediately when he made his IRL debut, and that absolutely didn't mean drivers like Scheckter, de Ferran or Hornish were immediately bad drivers or something (on the contrary..)

    He will be as good as his car. Penske and Ganassi will dominate and someone will take a checkered with a lucky yellow in between. Where he might bring some advantage is experience in new car developement every year in F1. Winning or not Indycar is better with Rubens on the grid.
