168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Jenson Button was the one teammate that 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Ralf Schumacher was able to get along with.

The German driver admits he neve𝔍r wanted a relationship with any teammate throughout his 11-year Formula 1 career.

Giancarlo Fisichella, Damon Hill, Alessandro Zanardi, Button, Juan-Pablo Montoya, Ricardo Zonta and Jarno Trulli were꧅ the drivers who competed alongside Schumacher in the same team.

“I didn’t like my teammates, I have to say. Except for Jenson,” he admitted🌠 on the  podcast.

“But I was difficult for my teammates because I didn’t want any conversation other than the set-up w🦄ork we had to do with the engineers.

“The teammate was always the first one to be be𒉰aten.

“[Eddie Jordan] wanted the best from the drivers, and Frank Williams also wanted the drivers to be in a fight with each other, to ꩲachieve more for his team.”

Button and Schumacher drove for Willia🅰ms in the 2000 F1 season together. Schumacher finished fifth, a🍰nd his rookie teammate (who would go on to win a championship nine years later) finished eighth.

David Coulthard replied to Schumacher’s brutal view on his teammates: “I was a bit more naive when I first came to Formula 1. I’m from a village, it took me a while to understand wh🍸at being in a t✃eam was.

“I had fallouts with all of my teammates.

“It’s a selfish world being a driver. You just think me,♐ me, me, me…

“You want the latest engine, the new tyres. Your teammate is almost an inconvenience to the team’s focus of 𒉰delivering for y🍬ou.

“Frank loved you having a go. He was never angry💧 if you crashed the car if he believed you were onto something amazing.”

Ralf never had the opportunity to become teammates with his legendary 🤡brother Michael Schumꦦacher.

“It would have been amazing,” Ralf sꦰaid. “There was never the opportunity꧃.

“One of us would have always lost. I don’t ꦚknow if that would have been good from a marketing point of view, or from a relationship poi♕nt of view between brothers.

“It would have been amazing to🅺 have had a season together.

“It was🍨 always veryꦆ open. I knew what he was doing, he knew what I was doing.

“It꧂ was good to talk to someone that you trusted.”
