The only reason the Rubens hasn't won more races this year is becasue of the team orders that hold Michael as the No. 1 driver in the Ferrari camp.

Once Schumi retires, i think Barrichello will be taking over as World Champion.
damn right
Schumi is the man right now, but once he retires Rubens should be able to hold off the rest of the field rather well. He's a very consistent driver and has loads and loads of talent, so combined with the best car Ferrari can offer him he'll easily take Michael's crown.
unless of course Ferrari picks up some other driver that takes everyone by surprise...
