10 of the best F1 bromances from over the years

Beyond the fierce competition on track, Formula 1 history is rich with enduring friendships and "bromances" among drivers. From Peter Collins and Mike Hawthorn's "Mon Ami Mate" bond to James Hunt and Niki Lauda's mutual respect despite their epic rivalry, and Mario Andretti's close ties with Ronnie Peterson, these relationships often transcend racing. More recently, the camaraderie of Ayrton Senna and Gerhard Berger, Sebastian Vettel and Kimi Raikkonen, Max Verstappen and Daniel Ricciardo, and the popular "Carlando" duo of Carlos Sainz and Lando Norris highlight deep connections. Even childhood friends Charles Leclerc and Pierre Gasly, and new pairing Nico Hülkenberg and Gabriel Bortoleto, exemplify the strong bonds forged off-track.
