Michael Schumacher's Best Teammate... Ever!

[The Moon Monkey]

Who would you vote for? These are my thoughts.

Barrichello has benefitted from Ferrari being the dominant team since 2000. But still probably best teammate along with Brundle. Plenty of flair and racecraft under the right circumstances - Silverstone 03 has saved his Ferrari career for the time being!

Irvine was not too bad overall even though he proved he was not quite No.1 material in Schuey's absence in 99. Outqualified him in their first race in 96 and I thought "here we go!" but proved to be a solid No. 2 rather than a close competitor.

Johnny Herbert was a disappointment in 95 despite two wins - never got close to Michael.

Verstappen was inexperienced and did not stand a chance.

Lehto's pre season accident (broken neck) effectively finished his F1 career. Looked awful when he raced the No. 6 Benetton.

Patrese was quite poor in 93 - retirement from F1 was the only option at the end of the season (a shame as I was a big Patrese fan)

I always thought Martin Brundle did really well in 1992 (in the races that is - not that close in qualifying though) and would be on a par with Barrichello as best teammate Schumacher has had.

Piquet shaped up pretty well in those last few races in 91.

De Cesaris only raced with him for one race - Spa 91 - where it all started.
