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...

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.
