Team Mate Battle 2021 Poll

New year coming up, new teams, new team mates, several world champions in the mix still. For 10 pairs of drivers in matching cars, which driver will dominate the most?

I'm sticking with Russell

 

Hard to predict for all the others though if Vettel is too washed out to get his mojo back he could be the big loser...in that case quick retirement, by his decision or Stroll senior's.

Tsunoda rookie of the year, even factoring in favour of the Haas drivers that the Alpha Tauri should be the better car. Not saying he will beat Pierre.

Worst blue and yellow flag offender Mazepin.

 

Bottas has already spoken on record about accepting his bridesmaid position.
It's a shame Mercedes didn't snap up Ricciardo when they had the chance.

So I will say Lewis will edge Bottas

 

Too bad Stroll over Vettel isn't up there as I would go with it based on what I think will be the priorities within the team.

Otherwise Russell over Latiffi is the obvious choice.

 

Sebastian ...it's Lawrence

 

Another stroll in the park for Lewis.

The other obvious prediction is Russell making light work of Lafiti.

 

There are some pay drivers, those would be the obvious choice, but when you drive a ****ty car it´s difficult to judge: a weird race and Latifi could end with double points than Russell.

So I´ll bet on Bottas digging his own grave.

 

Poll is based on each race finish position, not cumulative pts.

 

In all the teams except Williams, there is a chance for the teammate to score or podium more than once. With Williams, there is not..........

 

Verstappen will destroy Perez, without a shadow of a doubt.

 

First and foremost Red Bull is Max's team, he is the absolute focus of their efforts. He is clearly the fastest driver in F1 but Checo is more sympathetic with the car and tires. Max will win the qualifying war but I don't expect a huge disparity in results(points)--he will outperform but not destroy. My 2 cents.

 

Ditto.

PS: Love your new Rega avatar.

 

Perez is driver of average talent that with a lot of hard work, focus, and team spirit, became a very good driver. Verstappen is simply on another level when it comes to talent.

Besides, I also think Russell is a good candidate; Schumacher should easily outperform Mazepin but he's typically starting slowly in the season in a new environment, which may give Mazepin some opportunity to resist initially.
