Best F1 driver pairing ever?

[xpensive]

[MOWOG]

How 'bout Jack Brabham & Denny Hulme..

That pairing gets my vote. =D> Although I think Stewart/Cevert might have been their equal if Cevert had lived.

[J1sgj]

Suprisingly ! Mansell and Patrese was'nt a bad one !!!

[mikeerfol]

Button-Alonso

[marcush.]

and what about these two?

[Just_a_fan]

Easy. Fangio and Moss. Probably the best and second best drivers ever. In probably the best car of its era.

Interesting that none of the "the old times were the best" guys haven't flagged this pairing up...

Hamilton-Alonso and Senna-Prost.

Best F1 driver pairing is a hard choise, because effectively, you could argue that having 2 drivers in the same team clashing with eachother is not the best driver pairing.

that would thus eliminate the pairing of Senna and Prost, Vettel and Webber, Hamilton and Alonso, Hamilton and Rosberg,
Mansell and Piquet,

how about Mansell and Patrese?

Mika Hakkinen and David Coulthard was a really good pairing for McLaren. No big fights and two guys who worked professionally and always with the team in mind. I think for a team dynamic that is the best pairing in modern day formula 1. I think Vettel and Raikonnen will be the best driver pairing, because both guys are focused on themselves and already have a great relationship. Also both now how to develop a championship winning car. Ferrari will flourish with that pairing, both have a similar driving style and both know what they want from a car.

C´mon these two would have been my dad´s choice ..when i was a kid .the Heros were Ronnie , James and John Whatswrong.

so maybe one of the alltime great driver pairings have to be John and Niki

marcush, that's partly my point - most people will choose the guys they looked up to when they were younger and just getting in to F1 / motor racing.

The real issue is that the OP didn't define what "best F1 driver pair" means. In one way, it means the best two drivers ever - hence Fangio and Moss. In another, it means the best for the team, or the best for the fun of the fans etc.

It's yet another fairly meaningless thread really.

I'll add my vote for Hakkinen/Coulthard. No drama.

Fair point, the definition of 'best' really ought to be delineated by more than..
.. which drivers get the top photographer to make 'em look Hollywood-like..L.O.L...

Unless.. ..your pick is 'Dick Dastardly & Mutley'.. hihihihihihih....

No love for karthikeyan - Senna? They have been teamates across many categories. Synergy like no other when these two are tearing up the track.
