Dreamed team-mate battles

[jens]

So. Last year many hoped that this year we would see a battle between M. Schumacher and Räikkönen in Ferrari. Also several people have wanted to see Räikkönen and Alonso in the same team - to get an answer to those endless discussions that who would be better. It's tough to compare drivers and so team-mate comparisons are often the best way to get at least some idea about anyone's level. And that's so common to try to compare drivers and therefore it would be interesting to see whoever being tested against whoever to get more answers. And it's always interesting to see drivers changing teams to see how can they cope with the new environment. How can he fight against his new team-mate? But which team-mate battles would you especially like to see?

I would be quite interested in following team-mate pairings. I have to highlight that all those battles would be especially interesting in case both drivers have joined a new team and therefore none of them has an advantage.
Heidfeld vs Button
Two smooth, consistent and almost flawless drivers, who are criticized for being "too soft". I would imagine that it would be very tight point-in-point battle.

Trulli vs Webber
Two drivers known as "qualification kings" and "car breakers", who have never had a chance to drive in a championship challenging team. Also two 'Monaco specialists' with top-class raw speed, but lack of consistency. In my imagination would be a tight battle.

Montoya vs Sato
Two drivers with a top-class raw speed (with JPM being able to maintain it better race after race) and two very aggressive drivers, sometimes getting involved in collisions. Would be a marvellous wheel-to-wheel battle. You can be sure that none of them would yield too easily to his team-mate.

Trulli vs Fisichella
Two Italians, who in some way have had quite similar careers and have the reputation of being a "loser". One of the would probably be better in qualis and the other one in wet conditions. For many years the question - who is the best F1 driver in Italy - hasn't got an answer. Who would win?

Massa vs Barrichello
Two compatriots - current and former Ferrari driver. Probably today Massa would be faster, but Rubens probably wouldn't lose too easily if he has a suitable car and would show his class in slippery conditions.

Hamilton vs Kubica/Kovalainen
A rookie battle. There has been so much rookie-hype and many of them have been given a honour as future world champion. But who would deserve that title mostly? And are all the rookies really as good as they are expected to be?

Which team-mate pairings would you like to see?

Yawn.............How about Fangio vs. Moss? And either one of them would beat any of the drivers you list like a drum.

Let's say M. Schumacher versus any of them in the same car, even given his age the field would still be humiliated.

right now,i still want to see Raikkonen Vs Alonso in the same team....oh well,they are still young,it could happen in the future...

also i would have liked to seen the duels between Senna and Schumi had Senna survived ofcourse

[gjalie]

Verstappen vs colin mcrae (lol)

[Big Ben]

Schumacher vs. Alonso or Schumacher vs. Raikkonen (not at ferrari of course, that would be pointless)... that would bring MS down to his place and clarify many things

Schumacher vs. Alonso or Schumacher vs. Raikkonen (not at ferrari of course, that would be pointless)... that would bring MS down to his place and clarify many things

or, it could prove once and for all that Schumacher really is the best driver out there despite the effects of aging I'm just saying is all
