![]() ![]() Massa, meanwhile, has matured and become better on tracks and conditions where he has struggled before. He has probably been a bit surprised by Massa’s form and perhaps hasn’t had his eye on the ball all the time. I think Raikkonen was perhaps expecting it to be easier this season. Raikkonen may have made a few errors in Silverstone, but he still managed to get something out of the race. When Massa makes a big mistake, he still struggles to recover. Massa spun five times in the British GP, and Raikkonen lost control of his car in Monte Carlo and made a string of errors in Melbourne. However, both drivers have made mistakes in equal measure. On tracks where Raikkonen excels, Massa has closed the gap and looks a lot more mature and a more in-depth driver than in previous seasons. On tracks where he performs well, he makes Raikkonen look average. Massa’s average grid position is 3.2, compared with Raikkonen’s 3.9 which prove Massa’s edge over a single lap. He is an expert at qualifying and can pull a lap out of the bag when its least expected in any conditions. In qualifying, Massa definitely has the edge. Massa has made Raikkonen’s life very difficult. Surprisingly, it hasn’t happened that way. Raikkonen, fresh from being a world champion, would be able to dominate his teammate and take the team lead with ease. However, here are all the stats you need, along with my reviews on each teammate war, and who has come out on top in each team.Ĭoming into the season, most people expected Massa to flounder without Traction Control. The stats for how often a driver has finished ahead of his teammate can be a bit deceiving at times, as one of the drivers in the team may have retired whilst racing ahead of their teammate which is obviously bad luck, as opposed to being slower than your teammate. Qualifying is the best way to compare the speed between two drivers it proves how fast a driver you are. So far, a lot of the inter-team rivalries haven’t gone the way that a lot of pundits and fans were expecting. Beating their teammates can also launch them to stardom, as we saw with Lewis Hamilton last season. It is very important, particularly for rookies, not to be beaten badly by their teammates in their first season. ![]() Remember the difference between Sato and Ide in Super Aguri’s first season the sheer difference between the pair ended Ide’s career after just four races in 2006. When a driver gets heavily beaten by his teammate, it can lead to his confidence and soul being completely destroyed. ![]()
