Top 10's - Most legendary teammates



The series continues again! 

Today I am listing the most legendary teammates in my opinion. Here we go again...
  1. Ayrton Senna and Alain Prost (McLaren)
  2. Fernando Alonso and Lewis Hamilton (McLaren)
  3. Niki Lauda and Alain Prost (McLaren)
  4. Giuseppe Farina and Alberto Ascari (Ferrari)
  5. Juan Manuel Fangio and Stirling Moss (Mercedes)
  6. Jody Scheckter and Gilles Villeneuve (Ferrari)
  7. Jack Brabham and Bruce McLaren (Cooper-Climax)
  8. Phill Hill and Wolfgang von Trips (Ferrari)
  9. Denny Hulme and Jack Brabham (Brabham-Repco)
  10. Mario Andretti and Ronnie Peterson (Lotus)
Senna and Prost both won a championship when they drove together, Hamilton and Alonso got the equal amount of points but lost to Kimi Räikkönen by one point, Niki Lauda won Alain Prost by half a point! Rest of the pairs on the list are teammates who I have only read about or seen in documentaries so they have got their spots based on that.

Stirling Moss would have been champion many times but was always 2nd behind Fangio in the championships. If he had driven in some other time period he would have gotten much more respect. Even though he never won a championship he is still one of the all time best. It's not easy to beat Juan Manuel Fangio. I bet most of the champions in history would lose against him.

Care to make your own Top 10 -list on the Facebook page for example? Go right ahead! I will read them all because I really want to know your opinions as well.
