Qualifying Differentials | |
Marcel Borsboom, Netherlands |
Atlas F1 is going to keep an eye on the battle between team mates throughout the season by race and overall averages (again). The measurement is simple. We compare the intra-team difference in seconds on Saturday. Some may say compensation must be given in the favouritism between the number one and two seats within the team. We, on the other hand, do not grant that pardon. For better or worse, our analyses will be on the perfect world of egalitarian status in intra-team rivalry. With eight qualifying sessions completed for 1999, the differentials are on a roll. Let's see which drivers deserve bragging rights. Britain Notables
The average gap between teammates in Silverstone was 0.463 seconds. This, compared with France's 2.514sec; Canada's 0.588sec; Spain's 0.471sec; 0.671sec in Monaco; 0.601sec in San Marino; 0.446sec in Brazil; and 0.922sec in Australia. The overall average gap for the first eight seasons of 1999 stands on 0.575. The pairs of Stewart, Jordan, Sauber, Ferrari and Benetton have a differential of above the average.
