Friday favourite: The long-standing F1 team-mates who crashed Todt’s car
“The careers of Jean Alesi and Gerhard Berger were closely connected, as they were teammates for five seasons in Formula 1 and both moved from Ferrari to Benetton in 1996. Alesi initially viewed Berger’s arrival as a threat, but they developed a strong relationship on and off the track. They had equal treatment within the team and supported each other. Together, they won three races, with Berger winning twice and Alesi winning once. A memorable moment between them was when Berger pulled a practical joke on Alesi during a test session at Fiorano. Despite this, their friendship and camaraderie remained intact.”
