I think that goes to show that skill is important, but so is the choice of people that have to work together. A Drive Team with skills but no bond will be beaten by a team where there is some connection. Our Coach and driver last year were not huge fans of each other, which made a big difference too. I know it may sound cheesy, but I think it makes a difference.
so make both equally balanced?
