1953 - Farina (50) and Ascari (52). Of course, people we now know to have been World Champions were team-mates in all the previous seasons! - Jim Clark's final win in 1968 came with Graham Hill as a team-mate. How far was the 1962 World Champion behind the 1963 & 65 World Champion?
(a)5.3s (b)10.3s (c)15.3s (d)20.3s or (e)25.3s

Denny Hulme at McLaren - When Keke Rosberg accompanied Alain Prost in 1986, Prost became double World Champion. Ahead of Rosberg in the Championship were three past/future World Champions, Senna, Mansell and Prost. Who else beat Rosberg?

Button/Villeneuve 2003. Again any others, PM me. - Who scored more points, Hamilton in 2008 or Button in 2009?
