Message: [QUOTE="siffert_fan, post: 22974, member: 10"] I don't think that you can rightly compare Heikki's performance with that of LH at McLaren, as there is no doubt that Lewis was the number one driver and had the better equipment, all team protestations to the contrary notwithstanding. For a team to have two truly "equal number one" drivers is extremely rare, although teams rarely admit it. In the Prost/ Senna days at McLaren, it was probably the closest to being true, but that was because they were essentially operating as two separate teams under one roof. I think the next closest was the Graham Hill/Jochen Rindt pairing at Lotus, and that resulted in a great deal of acrimony between the drivers. I don't think that Heikki is any great shakes myself, but I also think that he is better than his record indicates. [/QUOTE]
