When was the last time a team ran drivers of the same nationality?

Yoong Montoya · 1 Jun 2002, 20:03 (Ref:302491)

The last time I think was when Forti ran Luca Badoer and Andarea Montermini in 1996, and they were both Italian. However, if Hakkinen does return next year, we could see an all Finnish lineup of Hakkinen and Raikkonen at McLaren.

Jaguar had Irvine and Herbert in 2000, Both Brits in a British marque.

Can't think of anything more recent though!

Dino IV · 1 Jun 2002, 22:09 (Ref:302538)

Good call, paul, only Irvine's nationality is Irish iirc.

Yoong Montoya's pick seems a pretty valid answer to his own question. The year before, in 1995, Hill and DC drove at Williams. That is the only one I could think of, but Forti was indeed all-Italian a year later.

paulzinho · 1 Jun 2002, 22:12 (Ref:302541)

Actually he's from Ulster, therefore he's British!!

Dino IV · 1 Jun 2002, 22:29 (Ref:302555)

OK, didn't know that.

Mr V · 1 Jun 2002, 23:23 (Ref:302580)

Mansell and Hill for the french, jerez, japan and australian races 1994!

Can't see it happening, myself

Another recent recent example - Mark Blundell and Martin Brundle, Mclaren 1994, Both British, British team also.

Heh, oops, I guess it pays to read the question!

Somehow my brain was saying "When was the last time a team ran driver(s) of the same nationality as the team"

I take back my initial post

EERO · 2 Jun 2002, 17:06 (Ref:302864)

Back in the late seventies when it seemed everyone in F1 was French, Renault, Ferrari, Ligier all had two french drivers.

The last time two Americans drove for the sam Team, Ronnie Bucknam and Ritchie Ginther, 1965 Honda.

Carrie · 2 Jun 2002, 17:31 (Ref:302872)

EERO, EERO, a man like you???

How about Dan Gurney and Ritchie Ginther driving Eagle Weslakes for AAR in the 1967 season?

paulzinho · 2 Jun 2002, 17:40 (Ref:302879)

Arnoux and Prost at renault in the early 80s!

Giacomelli and de Cesaris at Alfa Romeo too!

cos · 2 Jun 2002, 19:08 (Ref:302907)

Comas and Alliot in Larousse, Badoer and Alboreto at Lola, Brundle and Blundell at Ligier all in 1993.

Speedworx · 2 Jun 2002, 21:47 (Ref:303009)

I think Irvine and Herbert at Jaguar in 2000 is the last time it happened.

An interesting point. Does a person from Ulster consider himself English, Irish, or British, from a Nationality viewpoint? What passport would he hold? I know Irvine was very glad to play down the National Anthem thing when he won - they played God Save the Queen and he said he was fine with that.

I think EERO was still focussing on two fins in a team.

Bloody hell, I stuffed up badly with that...what was I thinking ??? Correct you are, calais

BootsOntheSide · 4 Jun 2002, 10:37 (Ref:304260)

As far as Irvine's concerned, he should officially have the Union Jack and the British national anthem, but a great many people in Northern Ireland consider themselves as Irish rather than British (historical and political reasons).

I remember that when Irv cvame 2nd in Argentina 1997 the flag above him on the podium was the Irish one, which produced death threats for his parents from Ulster Unionist hardliners, and Irv suggested racing with a neutral flag with British and Irish elements, but the FIA rejected this.
