@@danigonzalez4299 yeah but Rubens stopped in 2011 and Schumacher in 2012. It's just normal that Schumacher had such long career but Rubens? That's remarkable. Rubens didn't enjoy nearly the same fame or talent, but still every team speaks highly of him and he was always wanted for his development insights, which he learned from Senna btw. Even Schumacher used to copy Rubens' set-up. That's pretty insane if you think about it. I don't know how Rubens survived this long. I really don't.
