Summary
Our latest Bring Back V10s Top 10 debate focuses on the best team-mate pairings of the era. Edd Straw, Ben Anderson and Matt Beer join host Glenn Freeman to argue over what makes a great team-mate partnership - with a surprising amount of love for Gerhard Berger!
How did we do it? We took every constructors' championship winning set of team-mates from 1989-2005, added in some wildcards, then from that shortlist each of us made our own top 10 ranking. Those were then combined using F1's current points system to create an overall top 10, which is what we run through for you in great detail.

| 0:02.0 | What makes a great teammate pairing? |
| 0:12.0 | Is it all about putting together the two best drivers possible? |
| 0:15.0 | Or is that more trouble than it's worth? |
| 0:17.0 | How much does harmony matter? |
| 0:19.0 | And is it best to have a clear number one and a number |
| 0:21.3 | two? We're going to cover all of that and much more in our latest Bring Back V10's top 10 |
| 0:26.3 | debate as we choose the 10 best driver pairings from the V10 era. And I'm going to see if there are |
| 0:32.6 | any more ways to say 10. To quickly explain how this works, we took every Constructors' Championship winning |
| 0:38.9 | driver combination, added in some wild cards that we felt were worthy of inclusion. And from a |
| 0:45.4 | list that had then grown to 22 pairings from that process, we then each picked our top 10. |
| 0:52.8 | Points were given out using the current F1 points system, and the results were then combined |
| 0:58.3 | to create an overall top 10 ranking, which is the order we'll be debating for you here. |
| 1:03.8 | Our panel that are with me on the show haven't seen the final list, so they don't know |
| 1:08.3 | exactly what's going to crop up and when. |
| 1:10.7 | But let's |
| 1:11.0 | introduce them now with a shout out for some of the less fancied pairings that we're probably |
| 1:15.5 | not going to talk about, even though they did make it onto our short or long list, depending |
| 1:20.4 | on how you want to look at it. So joining me, Gleb Freeman, for this special Bring Back V10s |
