Re: The relationship between F1 teammates
Basically, the equation is big ego + big money = big conflict. As Zoue has said, Senna and Prost is perhaps the best example of two elite drivers in the one team which caused one of the greatest rivalries in sport, but it doesn't end there. Mansell and Piquet were teammates at Williams in 1986-87 a...

Re: Drivers who won their last race?
Gilles Villeneuve should have won his last race, but finished 2nd...then again, if if he did win it it might not have been his last.. He would have died sooner or later. Since he first appeared at the wheel of an F1 car, it was obvious to anybody that he was going to die in an accident. That's even...

Re: Hamilton finishes ahead of Rosberg (2013)
Rosberg appears to be faster in the wet in Brazil, for some reason. It was the same in Aus.
On the inters it's not so bad but Rosberg seems much faster on full wetr.

Testing is a far bigger culprit. When Lewis came on board he had virtually unlimited testing with which to hone his skills and get familiar with the car. Now rookies barely get a chance to sit in it before being thrust in at the deep end, and if they do struggle they have little or no chance to rec...
