Best driver in the best car wins the WDC - I'd go with that.Quote:

Best driver in an average car wins - probably.
Now, turn to team mates.
Best two drivers in a team. Who wins the WDC?????
Only once has this scenario occured in my time watching F1 - 1988. Prost v Senna, both at the top of their game.
And we all know how that worked out ;)Quote:

Well, it was all quite amicable up to that point. '89 is when it all went Pete Tong.Quote:

If you assume the WDC is the best driver, we are, as you suggest, in for a good'un
Benetton Renault was WCC champions as well, so I don't think that the advantage was only because of the driver. Don't get me wrong - I do rate Michael higher than Damon, but the 1995 Benetton was a very strong team. IMO it was to Williams like Ferrari to McLaren in 2000.Quote:

I say this as a huge Damon fan and at the time I wouldn't hear a word against him, however hindsight is a magical thing and with it benefits I can see just how badly the Williams drivers performed in 1995.
Ok, I apologise but I have not been keeping up with F1. :) Could someone break down the testing times and list whos been fastest to slowest? :)
That still won't tell you who is actually fastest.Quote:

In that department, it has been reported that Ferrari are looking very strong. Something Button concurs with.
Apparently, some Mclaren fans on here don't believe him, as they are better qualified.
Thank you Tamburello, exactly what I was looking for! ;)
