I'm reaching back in time here and not too sure that my memory is correct, but believe that at some point in F1's history a driver could commandeer the car of his team-mate.
I'm not too sure when this practice stopped but it does beg the questions:
Were both cars exactly the same?
If not, why not?
And why, in such circumstances, could some drivers manage to drive anything?
Assuming that in modern F1, the cars are basically the same, why do some drivers struggle to compete against their own team-mate?
I realise that it is all a bit more 'technical' now and down to personal set up, but surely any driver worth his salt should be able to get the best from any car he is driving!
