#2 The Battle of the Teammates
Leaving aside the Rosberg-Hamilton pairing, there are still a quite a few more teammate battles which are breathing fire every second. To start with we have Ferrari, where Sebastian Vettel is getting the better of Kimi Raikkonen, all too regularly. And, then at Williams, we have a rejuvenated Felipe Massa showing the way to young Valtteri Bottas. Down the order the boys at Force India, Lotus and Toro Rosso are scrapping pretty closely with each other.
And, although insignificant in terms of relevance, but the battle between former World Champions Jenson Button and Fernando Alonso in McLaren is also getting hot. The 2009 title winner Button is already 2 to nil up on qualifying form, and he would like to maintain the good momentum at Bahrain.
Since the team has no championship battle to work for, a race against both their drivers is the best form of “challenge” they can manage, at least in qualifying. However, with the expectation that both the McLaren’s will push for Q2 this weekend; a tasty fight is raging to unleash itself between the drivers.
