Just confirming what we already knew about the 2002 Austrian Grand Prix & that pass.

Its not exactly a secret. There's audio out and about of the transmissions to him. They weren't exactly Todt begging him in a stupid tone they were very forthright.
The questions are why? and why does rubens feel the need to say anything?
I know he may feel like hes got little chance of a drive next year but realistically Honda have few options better than him. However upsetting your boss who is probably your only backer in the team isn't the best idea.

As for why they did it. I'm reading James Allens book on Schumacher and its supposedly covered in detail in there. I'll let you know what it turns up

I thought you hated JA Craig... or did you just see the name Schumacher on the book.. then realised your mistake when you got home?

I dislike James Allen the commentator, I dont mind him as a writer. And the books gotten some good reviews so I thought I'd give it a go. Unfortunatly he cant help himself in mentioning Hamilton but its only a couple of times so i'll leave my judgements to the end. So far there is nothing in there that is new to me, even on the private life side of things, it's all been covered in the book I got for christmas, but as I said it does go in depth into things like the Austria incident, the australia incident and of course Monaco which is what he started the book with.
