Back in the 1960s and 70s it was common for drivers to fraternize and many developed deep friendships. Annual events like the Tasman Series where F1 drivers were essentially on an end of season holiday, also provided plenty of off track down time. However in the modern Grand Prix era genuine friendships between Formula 1 drivers appear to be rare.
So isn’t it nice to see this video and the rapport between Ferrari’s Fernando Alonso and Red Bull’s Mark Webber. In this clip the two provide a retrospective of their 200 races and talk about some of the things that haven’t changed, such as the joy of good hard wheel to wheel racing, the ecstasy of winning and the fear that comes from a big shunt.
