A Documented list of all of Ayrton Senna's and Gerhard Berger's pranks on each other
For those who don't know, from 1990 to 1992, Berger and Senna were teammates, they also pranked each other constantly, pranks that were approved by Ron Dennis himself, here's a list of all the pranks and goofs they played on each other
The Briefcase Incident:
During the Italian GP weekend, Senna and Berger were riding a helicopter over Monza, during the flight, Senna was showing off his new tailor made carbon fiber composite, Senna argued that because of it being carbon fiber, it would be impossible to destroy, Berger tested Senna's hypothesis by throwing the briefcase off the helicopter, the briefcase reportedly fell somewhere on the track and was retrieved
The Hose Incident:
several days before the race, at a dinner that Senna and Berger attended, many people were getting thrown into the pool as a joke, Berger escaped and Senna ran away to his room, Berger chased him down, Senna threw a glass of water at him in self defense, now the game was on, Berger and the guests contacted an extension to a hose and slid it under his bedroom door at 3 in the morning, Senna jumped through the window to escape, according to Berger "it looked as if a bomb exploded in his room"
The Frog Incident:
During their stay at Australia, Berger filled Senna's hotel room with 12 frogs, according to Berger, they were more like toads, Senna stormed to confront Berger, he said "i've spent an hour catching 12 frogs in my room" Berger replied "did you find the snake?", Senna responded by buying an extremely strong smelling French cheese, stuck into Berger's AC unit, and cranked it up
The Shaving Cream Incident:
On the night of an important dinner with Honda Executives, Senna decided to fill Berger's shoes with shaving cream, forcing him to attend this important dinner with a tuxedo and running shoes, Berger tried to take revenge by mixing 4 sleeping pills into some orange juice the day of the Japanese GP, but the suspicious drink was denied, Note: some reports say that the drink was offered to Senna, others state it was offered to Maurício Gugelmin, a fellow Brazilian who was in on the original prank and was driving for Layton house at the time
The Passport Incident:
possibly one of the funniest pranks, during a trip to Argentina, Senna's passport was checked, only to find his photo had been replaced with, according to Ron Dennis " an equivalent-sized piece of male genitalia" i.e a picture of cock and balls, this might seem hilarious to you, but airport security didn't find it funny, and Senna was detained for 24 hours, as revenge, Senna superglued all of Berger's credit cards together
Honorable mentions:
The Pembrey Circuit Incident:
During a test at Pembrey Circuit in Wales, a very small track with a confusing layout, Mclaren engineers purposely gave Senna wrong instructions on the correct layout of the track, after 3 laps, Senna storms back to his mechanics, yells "you funny fuckers" then did a 180 spin and drove 3 laps on the right layout
The Lancia Incident:
during the first day of testing for the 1995 Season, now at Ferrari, Berger and Jean Alesi stole Jean Todt's Lancia Delta, and while riding around in it, Berger decided it would be fine to rip the handbrake, they crashed and flipped Jean Todt's car, Alesi had to be taken to the hospital, when Jean Todt asked Berger what happened to his car, Berger replied that he and Alesi had "put some slight curb marks on the roof"

F1 drivers that relationships that actually improved racing together
So normally in f1 relationships between drivers and especially friends disappears as teammates
I was wondering if ever the opposite has happened, with two drivers relationship actually improved racing together.
For example DC and Webber's relationship before 2007 was hostile with both sides throwing barbs and the Australian branded a "wee bloody hooligan". But outside of a few minor issues the relationship the two had at Redbull was actually really good, and nowadays they bike ride together.
Any other examples?
Apologies for the dyslexic title btw,

Could Toyota have been a championship contender in 2009 with a better driver line-up?
I'm watching "Brawn: The impossible Formula 2 Story" documentary and it was mentioned that Brawn GP, Toyota & Williams were the only ones that season that used the double diffuser in the early parts of the season. Williams wasn't really in a place to be competitive, but I noticed that Toyota got quite a few podiums and performed really well in qualifying across the year, yet the results were a bit lackluster with the pace they showed.
Toyota's driver line-up this year was Jarno Trulli & Timo Glock and, with all due respect to both of them, this will probably not go down as one of the strongest driver line-ups in F1 history and it got me thinking that with 2 great drivers they probably could've squeezed out a win here and there and got better results overall during the season, which might've propelled them in the title hunt that year.
