"2007 has been tough so far but I believe we are heading in the right direction again. In addition to the great team we have already, there are some good new ♛people comingﷺ on board and I have confidence that we will make progress now.

"Jenson and I have a great relat𓂃ionship together as team-mates and stability will be key as we l🦩ook forward to the challenge of 2008. For now though, we have eight races remaining and that is where our focus lies."

For the record, Rubens' best finish this season was𒉰 a ninth place at the British Grand Prix two weeks ago🐬.
