    This is an extension of the Jackie Stewart thread, kinda-sorta:

    With the different types of personalities over the years, what two drivers would you hire ?

    KEEP IN MIND you need two drivers that would compliment each other, share notes, not kill each other on the track (or off): what I mean is, I don't see a team of Mansell and Senna working together, I don't see Reubens and Eddie Irvine working together and improving the team, and I think there would be problems with Lauda and Gilles...

    Here's my only rule:
    You cannot choose Michael Schumacher as one of your drivers.
    Why not ?
    If I allowed that, almost everyone would choose Michael and someone else, probably Gilles...

    Oh - they don't have to be Ferrari drivers.

    Is there a big difference between Hakkinnen and Mansell ?
    To me they are nearly identical in style.

    No. Irvine blocked Senna on the track IIRC and Senna was so upset, that he followed him afterwards and punched him.

    We cannot pick Schumacher because he wouldn't work with anybody.

    Senna and me. A team really wouldn't need anyone else if they had him so I could just chase after the pit babes :)
