1989 Japanese Grand Prix - Senna versus Prost at Suzuka

If we're talking 1989, the duelling team mates have to be McLaren's Ayrton Senna and Alain Prost. The pair had already banged knuckles the previous season, with Senna ultimately victorious, his eight wins to Prost's seven bringing him the drivers' crown. And with the McLaren enjoying similar performance levels in '89, the duo was just as dominant and the antagonism between them just as potent.
