Perhaps as an indicator as what is a good driver's pairing,

I would rank them as follow.

VERY STRONG DRIVER PAIRING
1)Ferrari (very strong MS teamed with quality teammate)
2)Williams (equally matched/different style drivers)
3)Renault (fast Trulli with Alonso's huge potential)

STRONG DRIVER PAIRING
1)Mclaren (let down by DC, Kimi brings huge potential)
2)BAR (Button/JV is strong, Button/Sato equally good)
3)Toyota (Panis to back the growth of da Matta's talent)

AVERAGE DRIVER PAIRING
1)Jordan (Fisi is fast but not motivated,Firman nothing special. Replacement Nick not an improvement)
2)Jaguar (Mark Webber's brilliance hindered by teammate, but cash talks)
3)Sauber (HHF decent but past date, Nick lost shine. Fisi/Massa will be better)

POOR DRIVER PAIRING
1)Minardi (what can Minardi achieve with their drivers?)
