Fixed.

Those are nothing when compared to the pairing of Reiko Megumi and Romain Grosejean. Like the guy in Destruction Derby 2 (WTCS will race in one of DD2's tracks [/selfadvertisingthatnobodycares]) says, WOW! TOTAL DESTRUCTION!!.

I don't think Grosjean has crashed at all this year. Whereas Saavedra has done little but crash.

And if Ollie Chadwick's Ginneta Juniors performance is anything to go by, he'll make Andrea de Cesaris look like Nick Heidfeld :lol:

Yeah.

So, Chadwick/Saavedra then?

James Hinchcliffe/Gerhard Berger, just to see the hilarity that would ensure off the track :lol:

Johnny Cecotto Jr. and Beppe Gabbiani.

Good one

I would have liked to seen Hakkinen and Schumacher as teammates. There would have been epic teammate battles!

Because the both are often (or should I say always?) complaining: Danica Patrick and Jarno Trulli.

I wonder what would've happened had "Half" Schumacher and his elder brother raced each other as teammates...

Raikkonen and Hamilton at McLaren
Alonso and Montoya at Ferrari(?)
Trulli and Fisichella at Ferrari (because they are italians....)

Possibly explosive combination. Considering their battle at Suzuka '10, that would be explosive. My question is, with which team could they be paired at?

So, one on-track battle 2-and-a-half years ago means that a pairing would be 'explosive'? Honestly, I don't see it. Kobayashi just doesn't have the raw pace Hamilton does.

Jarno would say the Indy Car has power steering. The problem is it doesn't.

Milka Duno and Johnny Cecotto Jr.
This would probably mean Milka would have a small chance to win, as she'd be too slow to get involved in Cecotto's antics. If she qualifies, of course.

Kimi and Checo given what happened at the weekend. ;-)

Johnny Cecotto Jr and Sergio Canamasas (Just think of how many repair bills would be caused not to mention the litany of penalties picked up)
Johnny Cecotto Jr and Sergio Perez (Hard Chargers)
Pastor Maldonado and Romain Grosjean (Obviously)
Mark Webber and Fernando Alonso (Just for my entertainment of a wheel to wheel duel)

It could have been done in 1997 as Hiro retired in 1998.

Well, King Racing quit Indycar after 1994.
Assuming they were still interested in CART, the sponsor money of the two drivers could have made it possible.
Besides, King Racing always had Budweiser backing.

Well... I'm just not going to answer that. But I did have the 1976 British Grand Prix at Brands Hatch in mind when I wrote that. And I am sure that the forum members would get along well together!

Depending on whether or not this latest buyer (can't remember the company's name for the life of me) falls through at Lotus, we might get Maldonado/Grosjean in 2014.

Gerhard Berger & Martin Brundle. Driving for Laconic Grand Prix.

Also, and bear with me here;

1994. Having dropped Patrese, and sensibly overlooking JJ Lehto, Benetton poach Gerhard Berger from Ferrari. Schumacher and Berger in the same team. But wait, there's more! The pilots over at Maranello are Jean Alesi and... Pierluigi Martini.
