Top 10 Rivalry Flashpoints

Even before they were teammates, a collision on a rain-soaked Fuji track in 2007 lit the fuse of a

rivalry

between Mark Webber and Sebastian Vettel that would boil over many times over the following years, Weber calling Vettel a inexperienced child three years later. and the pair are now fighting for the title as their Red Bull teammates collided again while battling for the lead at the 2010 Turkish Grand Prix. I'm going home. Webber became enraged at Silverstone in 2010 when the team removed a new-spec front wing. car to give to Vettel, but it was at Sepang in 2013 when their long

rivalry

really reached the boiling point in the final laps of the race.

Weber was leading with Vettel second and the team ordered them to wait until the end. What happened after? made the term multi-21 famous all over the world sebastian multi-map 2-1 multi-map 2-1 sebastian you need to give it a space hole position it's wheel to wheel again for the two rebels sebastian vettel and mark webber vettel in the inside, has he now stolen the lead from his teammate? Can we get it back? Oh, fantastic things. Mark Webber regains the lead, but the battle is not over yet and there is barely a meter between the two cars as they race down the hill and launch side by side up. into the braking zone and turn four Webber on the inside, do you have better traction?

There is no way to dance on the outside and it is a dance that takes you to the head of this race. Wow 40 217 yes, multi-21, I won a race too. but in the end the team, yes, they made a decision that we always say before the start of the race, it's probably how it will be, we take care of the tires and we took the car to the end, and on the instep they made their own decisions today and we will have protection like always and those are the Wakers. I was wrong in that situation and obviously they took Mark's lead, which I can see now that he's upset, but yeah, I want to at least be honest and stick to the truth and apologize.

I know that doesn't really help your feelings right now. 2021 saw the closest title race in years with red bull producing a car worthy of the skills of their wonderful driver max verstappen to create a combination that could finally challenge the dominance of mercedes and the greatest driver of his generation, lewis hamilton, no quarter was given as both drivers realized that every point would count and contact between them seemed inevitable as they battled, they came close at imola in the second round before colliding in spectacular fashion at silverstone police corner in On the first lap of the British Grand Prix, Verstappen crashed into the barriers, while Hamilton won at the police corner.

These are critical curves for this grand prix. Hamilton will try again this time, the insider comes with a twist. Verstappen is out of the race. and that's a big clash between cops lewis hamilton and max verstappen join hamilton continues four races later, the F1 circus arrived at monza with just three points separating the two contenders and the pressure increased as the race approached Halfway through the distance, both pilots had a hit on the slope. stops, meaning Hamilton came out of the pit lane next to his rival as they raced towards the first chicane and there is Max Verstappen right behind Hamilton at the first chicane, once again heading towards Will Hamilton number seven at this point Verstappen and Hamilton crashed. and they're both out, what a strange incident, absolutely strange, I was ahead going into the bend and the next thing I know Max went over the second curb or something, he obviously knew he wasn't making the bend at the time. in the corner and crashed into me, unfortunately it took me too far off the road, so I hit the curb and that's why we touched on the death of Erton Senna that had overshadowed the 1994 world championship, but two drivers emerged to fight for the title Benetton's Michael Schumacher and Damon Hill driving for Williams Schumacher began the season in excellent form winning six of the first seven grands prix to open up a commanding lead in the title race, but thereafter Hill began to grow into his team leader role as schumacher fell due to lack of rules at Silverstone and Spa, disqualification from both races and suspension from two other hills he took his chance and took a series of victories in the second half of the year, meaning that when They arrived in Adelaide for the season finale, The Englishman was just one point behind p2 on the grid.

Schumacher took the lead of the race at the start following the hill and remained that way until Schumacher's lost time ran out on lap 36. The hill passes oh out, come out, go, Schumacher, the German is out. from the australian grand prix and damon hill just has to remain world champion from 1994, but can he move on? and hill shakes his head, he knows in his heart that it's all over, it's over now and it's a bit of an empty feeling, but i think i gave him a run for his money and he was certainly feeling the pressure because he ended up going down off the road, the car was a little rough to handle but I didn't have much time. to find out what the drive was like because suddenly I found myself in the air Lewis Hamilton and Nico Rosberg had been childhood friends, teammates and fierce competitors since their early years in racing, but could any friendship survive the heat of a battle for the formula one title?

The first cracks in their relationship appeared in Monte Carlo in 2014, when Rosberg was accused of deliberately ruining Hamilton's final run in qualifying before the two Mercedes teammates made contact on track at the Belgian Grand Prix. To be fair, Hamilton actually has more and is going to play. now he has a puncture lewis hamilton nico rosberg has lost a bit of his front wing and for the first time this season we have seen the two mercedes drivers come together in 2015 rosberg accused hamilton of compromising his race in shanghai and forcing him to go wide in the corners . one in Austin, a race that Great Britain won to secure a third world title.

Rosberg wasn't amused by that or by Hamilton kindly tossing him his podium cap in the recovery room after the race, but in 2016, Rosberg turned up the heat by winning the first four grands prix. of the year and then they came to barcelona in turn three, we go and it's nico rosberg and hamilton who are on the grass and hamilton had a huge fall and crashed into his teammate the two mercedes come together when hamilton tries to pass on the inside and he can cover his eyes with his hands and he won't want to see that again.

I was in the lead. I closed the door and anyway, it went through the gap, it went to the right and there was a gap there, but it closed. Senna versus Alain Prost is possibly the most iconic rivalry in Formula One history. The Brazilian joined Prost at McLaren in 1988 when his Honda-powered car was almost untouchable. It was all smiles when the season started, but Prost was furious with the portuguese grand prix accusing senna of pushing him into the pit wall at full speed while they were fighting for the lead looking towards the pit wall and the frost is on i think total momentum and frost senna took the title after a brilliant comeback at suzuka, but 12 months later, the animosity between them had grown and their championship-deciding collision in Japan is the stuff of legend.

Senna has to win today like he had to win last year to win the world championship. This is the opportunity that Cena is looking for and he is taking advantage of it. oh my god, this is fantastic, they won, this is what we feared could happen during the race and we are about to see anton cena take back the lead, I think he has far superior power and so far that needy smokes isn't it? . sinner in Japan, will there be an investigation by the commissioners? frost will have one if he can, senna was later disqualified for using an escape route to rejoin the track, handing prost the title, the frenchman quit mclaren anyway saying he couldn't work with senna anymore to be very honest, I mean, I'm very happy to be leaving because I think it becomes absolutely impossible to work with certain ones, but incredibly there was another Japanese title showdown between them the following year, with Prost now driving for Ferrari, the pair qualified first and second. . but senna swore he wouldn't let prost enter the first corner in front of him and history soon repeated itself the grid is clear the lights come on and senna races away banana frost takes the lead it has happened he has taken the lead the center is trying to pass inside and it happened immediately, this is incredible, dinner goes off in the first quarter, but what happened to Frost, it went too well, that's incredible, but I'm afraid it's absolutely predictable, fortunately it went wrong in the first curve, there was a great risk.

I had nothing to lose in the first corner. I want to win and I looked for a gap on the inside in the first corner. Allen didn't see it and just closed the door and we ended up touching each other last year. I lost in a similar way towards the end of the race rather than at the beginning and this year it went badly. Lewis Hamilton's impact as a rookie in 2007 was so immediate and effective that it shook the current two-time world champion, who showed that he feared no one when he made a magnificent pass on the Spaniard on the outside of turn one in the opening race in Melbourne and since At that moment Alonso knew he would have to use all his skills to beat his young teammate.

There was tension all year long with Hamilton sentiment. He was denied a chance to win in Monaco and Alonso vented his frustrations in Montreal and Indianapolis, but when the title fight headed to Hungary, the tension escalated into an all-out war in the standings. Hamilton did not allow Alonso to take to the track as agreed and the Spaniard retaliated with a calculated hit as he sat in the McLaren box long enough to deny his young rival a final run to take pole position. We wait for the countdown on the radio and go, sometimes it's 10 seconds, sometimes it's 45 seconds. like the first stop today, sometimes 10 or 15 like the second, but I think the calculation was wrong because my teammate didn't complete the lap and I crossed the line with two or three seconds left, so it was very, very tight and you already know these things. unfortunately it happened to us today, the stewards then stripped alonzo of pole for his actions, leaving him in sixth position, while in the end neither of the mclaren drivers took the title, as ferrari's kimi raikkonen surprised them both by snatching it away by a single point in the final race, while the 1982 turbo cars were some of the fastest and most brutal in the history of the sport.

The season itself was marred by controversies, strikes, political infighting, and tragedy. The Ferrari 126 C2 car was a rocket and both Jill Vilnerv and Didier Perrone were considered title contenders, but the season began. bad for the scarlet cars with peyronie's sixth place in brazil their only points in the first three races at imola the ferraris had the chance to get their season underway when a boycott meant only 14 cars arrived for the grand prix on the day of the race The fast but unreliable Renaults of Alain Prost and Reni Arnoux dropped out, leaving Vilnerv and Peroni to battle for the lead in front of a delighted partisan crowd as the laps ticked down.

A Ferrari pit board sent a simple order to the drivers. Slow, Vilner believed. that meant holding position, but peyronie had other ideas, he had to come on the inside, he's got it open, fantastic stuff, they've changed places in two laps running in a peloton, now all he has to do now is keep it pointed in the direction Correct, the last of the late Peroni have proven to be so with that fastest maneuver on the last lap in this San Marino Grand Prix. The Canadian's body language on the podium said it all. He was outraged and promised never to speak to Peyronie again.

Tragically, he died ago. Just two weeks later, during qualifying for the Belgian Grand Prix at Zolda, while that same year Perrone suffered a career-ending injury at Hockenheim, Carlos Hoytermann had already won a race in F1 with both Brabham and Ferrari, but when he joined Williams in 1980 he did so with the understanding that he would swap for team leader Alan Jones if asked. Jones took the title in their first year together in dominant fashion, but in the second race of the 1981 season, the Brazilian Grand Prix, the pair were out front with Jones watching Hoyteman's escape during the lap. after the lap, but without mounting any attack for the lead, hoping that his teammate would step aside in the final moments to fulfill the terms of the agreement even though the team was in a bind by declaring its expected order of arrival.

Hoitaman was in no mood to give up what he thought. It was a deserved victory and he crossed the line at p1 if he didn't like thecontract he shouldn't have signed, said a livid jones who refused to stand on the podium alongside his teammate hoytman admitted he had broken his word but said he simply couldn't give up the win. Nelson PK was already a two-time champion when he joined Williams in 1986, while his new teammate Nigel Mansell had only two victories to his name in Formula One, but the Brazilian did not. Not expecting to be challenged by a man he had dismissed as an uneducated fool, he soon corrected himself in that regard and by the time they reached the Bran hatch for the British Grand Prix in July, Mansell had three wins against the only one eager to assert his authority.

In the team, PK insisted on having first choice to configure the spare car for his driving style, but after his driveshaft failed on the first start at Bran's Hatch, Mansell took the spare PK for the necessary restart. After a great lap, a drift had stopped the Then the race harassed the Brazilian until he made a mistake in the gear change, allowing the Briton to take the lead. He then fended off PK's attacks to take the victory in front of his ecstatic home crowd. There was no handshake between them after the race, as the two men were never friendly.

At first he became increasingly suspicious and increasingly determined to beat the other, but like Hamilton and Alonso two decades later, the feuding teammates would miss out on the title when Alan Prost beat them in what was undoubtedly a McLaren Slower. The 1997 formula one world championship went to the end with two men. in contention in the final race in his f michael schumacher and jack fielner i spent the three weeks leading up to that last race reminding people what happened with toudamen just brings that and i think that put a bit of pressure on michael to the point where the fi He said that if something like this happens, the driver will be disqualified, nothing unpleasant has to happen on the track, but we went into that race knowing that we would come out winners, there was no other option with the German leading by a single The points standings for the The season-ending European Grand Prix was one of the closest in the history of the sport.

Incredibly, three drivers recorded the exact same fastest time, one minute, 21.0720, and the Canadian took pole to set the benchmark. First, Schumacher lined up in second position on the grid and got off to a fantastic start putting his Ferrari into the lead into the first corner, but Vilnerv, son of legendary Ferrari racer Jill, wasn't done yet, the nerve of the movie It's on him, look, it's happening, oh yeah, I don't think that didn't work, but that didn't work Michael, you hit the wrong part of him my friend, I don't think that would cause a problem for Vilner.

We had discussed this and playing the team with Jock with my friends and we were 100 sure that the opportunity existed. then the opportunity would be taken and that's why when I got next to her and we hadn't hit the wheels yet, I was surprised and she came a little later and if Fiona can keep scoring points, she will have won the world championship. In 1997, Vlnerve managed to nurse his beaten Williams into third place, losing two places on the final lap, winning the world championship by three points, while Schumacher was subsequently disqualified from that year's championship for his actions and three more years would pass. before he tasted the success of the title. with ferrari you
