[stat]Team mates comparison 2008[/stat]

[Schummy]

Here is the stat I did (incompletely) last seasons. For each race I assign three 1/0 values to every team. Values 1 means 1st driver beats 2nd driver, 0 means the reverse. First number is for grid position, second is for fastest race lap and the last one refers to race classification.

TEAM    AUS MAL BAH
=========================
RAI-MAS 011 011 000 = 4-5
HAM-KOV 101 010 100 = 4-5
HEI-KUB 011 010 010 = 4-5
ROS-NAK 111 111 111 = 9-0 <--
TRU-GLO 110 111 111 = 8-1 <--
ALO-PIQ 111 111 101 = 8-1 <--
WEB-COU 000 101 111 = 5-4
VET-BOU 100 111 000 = 4-5
BUT-BAR 000 111 100 = 4-5
FIS-SUT 100 111 111 = 7-2 <--
SAT-DAV 111 100 000 = 4-5
=========================

Plenty of equality in most of teams. Only Rosberg, Trulli, Alonso and Fisichella are overwhelming their team mates.

Interestingly, in many teams, the supposed 2nd driver is resisting or surpassing the first one.

Note: first-second driver position is subjectively chosen be me in terms of perceived a priori driving strength or performance. Most of cases are very clear, others are not, I'm afraid.
