Although Montoya got most of the attention for his seven pole positions and third spot in the drivers' championship, Ralf certainly held his own. The German out-qualified his Colombian team-mate on eight occasions and finished the season in fourth, just eight points behind.

Schumacher’s Formula 1 debut came with the Jordan-Ford team in 1991, as a one off replacement driver. Mercedes paid Eddie Jordan to let Schumacher drive, and Jordan immediately signed him up, because he showed promise. He qualified brilliantly, but retired from the race. Despite the potential deal, and subsequent court injunctions by Jordan, Schumacher was snatched up by Bennetton for the rest of the season.
