For the fifth year running, Atlas F1 is going to keep an eye on the battle between teammates throughout the season with a simple measurement: we compare the qualifying times of each driver against his teammate's result. After every Grand Prix, we will show how teammates have fared up against each other, and where they are overall since the beginning of the season. At the end of the season, the World Champion of Qualifying Differentials will be elected - the driver who beat his teammate by the most seconds. Only those who participate in at least 15 of the 17 rounds are eligible for the coveted crown; and for those who made the efforts and participated in all 17 races, the best and worst result will be scrapped.

With twelve qualifying sessions completed for 2002, the differentials are once again on a roll! Let's see which drivers deserve bragging rights.

Germany Notables

• Mark Webber: Well, now that Allan McNish has outqualified his Toyota teammate Mika Salo for the first time, Mark Webber remains the only driver this season never to be beaten in qualifying by his teammate.

• Setting the Record Straight: This was the best qualifying result for Jordan's Takuma Sato (12th).

• The excuses: It seems the popular excuse for everyone was the inbalance of the car in qualifying compared to the free practices.

• Changes since France: None.
