And, contrary to many people's claims in the past couple of days, we've seen that Kimi *does* accept team orders. He virtually stopped on the track in China 2008 to let Massa pass him! It seems with discussions on Kimi stereotypes overtake facts sometimes.Graham Keillohhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11514708469215327323noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3682262344930040012.post-36967555968538602542013-09-11T20:33:15.816+01:002013-09-11T20:33:15.816+01:00That's true, and 2014 will be a very interesti...That's true, and 2014 will be a very interesting year at Scuderia-Ferrari, should team orders ever come into play, to whoever is leading each other in the points at each race and after the mid way point of the season. It's going to be very exciting to watch!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3682262344930040012.post-25094150208682363382013-09-11T20:02:24.906+01:002013-09-11T20:02:24.906+01:00I was only including cases where the drivers were ...I was only including cases where the drivers were world champions at the point that they paired up at Ferrari, and wasn't including cases where one of them become world champion in the future. In the Prost-Mansell case, they were team mates at Ferrari in 1990, and Mansell didn't win his world championship until 1992.<br /><br />Though even including these there aren't too many instances of Ferrari having two champions at the same time. I think the previous time to 1990 was 1958, when Mike Hawthorn and Phil Hill were team mates briefly.Graham Keillohhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11514708469215327323noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3682262344930040012.post-80862055063147069132013-09-11T19:09:19.092+01:002013-09-11T19:09:19.092+01:00Actually, the last time the Scuderia had two world...Actually, the last time the Scuderia had two world champions was 1990 with Prost and Mansell! Kimi and Alonso should fuel each other to the top against RedBull, with the Senna - Prost wars still fresh in our memories, these tow pairings should produce a world champion, unless Ferrari fails to produce the right V-6 engine package!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
