Fernando Alonso and Jarno Trulli, friends and former teammates, are locked in battle. Their respective teams, Renault and Toyota, are fighting for fourth place in the constructors' championship, worth around $10 million to whichever of them secures the position (assuming it's not Red Bull or Toro Rosso).
It's bringing a focus onto the efforts of their lead drivers. In 2004 at Renault, Trulli went bat-to-bat with Alonso in the first half of the season before his form slid in synch with his deteriorating relationship with team boss - and Alonso's manager - Flavio Briatore.
