Does anyone know of any team mates in any motorsport categories that when the racing's off or even sometimes when its on, they just seem to be mucking around having fun? The prime example for me would have to be Marcos Ambrose and Russel Ingall from SBR. Whenever the camera's are on them in the pits, if theyre just walking around somewhere, it'll show one of them sneaking up on the other and poking them in the ribs or something like that, that just gets you sitting back laughing at how laid back it is for them all. On the podium as you would expect, it is the funniest as these 2 take it further than spraying the champagne directly in each others faces, they regularly stick the neck of the bottle down the others back and watch them sqirm and ive even seen at times Ambrose give Ingall a bit of an elbow to the stomach once this was all going on. On track, i think they take it a bit more seriously, like last year at Pukekohe, Ambrose was struggling with a sudden loss of form in the second last round, and on the final race of the weekend, he was sitting past someone he was faster than, but couldnt pass him. After a couple of laps of frustration, Ingall radioed to Ambrose that he could have one more crack at passing, then it was his turn, and sure enough Ingall stepped ahead of Ambrose, and within minutes, Ingall had passed the person holding up Ambrose and Ambrose snuck through as well. After that, it was just pure team dedication, with Ingall leading Ambrose on an SBR charge through the middle of the pack to reclaim about 10 spots and ensure Ambrose entered the last round ahead in the points.
