What would Formula 1 be without their intense on-track battles? We\u2019ve witnessed some of the greatest drivers in F1 history fighting for the championship title. Rivalries have shaped the sport into what it is today.<\/span><\/p>\n For five seasons (2009 – 2013) Webber and Vettel were teammates at Red Bull. But throughout the seasons, the favoritism of Sebastian Vettel kept destroying their friendship.<\/span><\/p>\n This might be the race that ultimately destroyed their relationship. On Lap 40 Vettel<\/a> tried to overtake Webber on the inside line. Having little space, Vettel turned in, made contact with Webber, and spun himself out of the race. Before he found himself in the gravel, he almost made contact with Webber again. In the end, Webber managed to come third. Despite Vettel turning in on Webber, he was seen calling the Aussie crazy, as he got out of his car. Red Bull\u2019s team principal Christian Horner and advisor Helmut Marko<\/a> blamed Webber for the incident and defended their new golden boy Sebastian Vettel. Webber<\/a> said,<\/span><\/p>\n “When I saw on TV the hugs Sebastian got on the pit wall from the team, I began having serious doubts as to who was really pulling the strings at Red Bull.”\u00a0<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n In the eyes of Webber, Red Bull\u2018s favoritism for Sebastian Vettel showed once again in Qualifying. The team decided to replace Vettel\u2018s broken front wing with the team’s solitary remaining new front wing, which helped the German to get pole position on Saturday. His luck in Qualifying didn\u2018t show in the actual race though. Vettel had to retire his car within a few seconds of the opening lap. Webber was able to secure the win for the Red Bull Racing Team. When Horner congratulated him on the win, Webber said:<\/span><\/p>\n “Not bad for a number 2 driver.”<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n Though Vettel was starting from Pole, Webber was able to take the lead very early in the race. With 13 more laps left, Vettel got the \u2018Multi 21\u2019 team order. Meaning, Vettel was told to hold his position behind his teammate. Vettel ignored his team’s order, overtook Webber, and snatched the victory from him. After the race Vettel stated,\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n “I was racing, I was faster, I passed him, I won. <\/span>I don\u2019t apologise for winning.”<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n Back in their karting days, Nico Rosberg<\/a> and Lewis Hamilton were best friends, but being teammates at Mercedes for four years (2012-2016) changed their relationship. Here are a few of their most controversial and discussed moments in Formula 1.<\/span><\/p>\n Qualifying is where things got heated. In the last few minutes of Q3, both drivers started one last flying lap on the Monaco circuit. Rosberg, who had already set the fastest time before his last round, went first, Hamilton second.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Due to breaking issues, Rosberg went off the circuit at Mirabeau, causing a yellow flag. Hamilton couldn\u2019t finish his final lap and his lap time got deleted, meaning Rosberg would stay in Pole position.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n This incident was probably the start of their rivalry. The whole thing seemed like a planned move of Rosberg, which he denied. After investigations by the stewards, no further actions were taken. Starting from Pole, Rosberg managed to finish first in the race on Sunday. His teammate Lewis Hamilton came second.<\/span><\/p>\n A race that ended very early for the two Mercedes drivers. Right at the start of the race, Rosberg overtook pole-sitter Lewis Hamilton. Hamilton tried to gain his position back, but eventually, he found himself on the grass losing control of the car. It led to a collision of the two just before Turn 4, forcing both of the drivers to retire.<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cOh no\u2026\u201d The Barcelona crowd reacts to THAT crash \ud83d\udca5#SpanishGP<\/a> \ud83c\uddea\ud83c\uddf8 #F1<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/WJ62NWVWaB<\/a><\/p>\n — Formula 1 (@F1) May 10, 2017<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n1.
