I start with an obvious current one:

 

Charles Leclerc + Carlos Sainz - Ferrari 2021

 

I know another one not very long ago, by memory. Maybe there are many others. Post next one if you know

[noikeee]

Blundle and Brundell.

[JRodrigues]

Iceman Raikkonen - Aceman Raikkonen - Sauber 2035

[Risil]

Jean Behra and Juan Fangio

[DeKnyff]

Carlos Reutemann

Carlos Pace

[Lights]

Toro Rosso, 2008:

Sebastian Vettel

Sebastien Bourdais

 

Also perhaps not teammates by the most literal sense, but back in 2014 when Felipe Massa was racing for Williams, their free practice driver was Felipe Nasr.

[PhilArny80]

Daniel Ricciardo and Daniil Kyvat?  Red Bull 2015

STR got it better when Vettel moved to RBR and was replaced by Sebastien Buemi.

 

 

Another to be mentioned, after Martin Brundle was injured in 1984 he was replaced by Stefan Johansson while Stefan Bellof was driving the other Tyrrell.

[RainyAfterlifeDaylight]

Ross Brawn and Ross Brown

[ensign14]

Teo Fabi

Corrado Fabi

 

Back in the pre-war days, Ferdinand and Pierre de Vizcaya at Bugatti.

Thats the other one I knew

[FirstnameLastname]

Rosset and Tosser

[Anderis]

There was a driver called Markin Brundell and he had a team-mate of a nearly identical name that I can't remember. They were even team-mates at 2 different teams during their careers.

[NixxxoN]

Johnny Herbert - Jean Alesi - Sauber 1998

[pacificquay]

Johnny Herbert - Gianni Morbidelli  - Sauber 1997

[Kalmake]

Eddie Irvine and Eddie Jordan

[NixxxoN]

Heinz-Harald Frentzen - Enrique Bernoldi - Arrows 2002

 

Yes, both Heinz and Enrique = Henry

[Risil]

Robert Senechal and Robert Benoist drove for Delage at the big Grands Prix of the 1920s.

[Dunc]

Not sure if these count but Jackie Stewart and Jacky Ickx were both signed to Tyrell at the same time, albeit in different formulas and Mike Hakkinen and Michael Andretti were both signed by McLaren for 1993.

[tyker]

Blundle and Brundell.

The names are so similar that they seem to have confused you, it's Brundle and Blundell. 

[HP]

Jack Brabham

Jacky Ickx

[HP]

Jo Siffert

Jo Bonnier

[Risil]

Jo Siffert

Jo Bonnier

 

Both drove Cooper-Maseratis in Formula One but were they ever teammates?

They both drove Cooper Maseratis, but it was for Rob Walker in Brabham they were teammates! Though, they used different engines. Same team.

1968 in SA? 

[Risil]

What I like about those two is that they actually had totally different names (Joakim and Joseph) but shared a contraction!

[ensign14]

Of course there's the euphonious Porsche pairing in sportscars of Bell(of).

[PlatenGlass]

Eddie Irvine and Eddie Jordan

On the subject of drivers and their teams, interestingly, Pierluigi Minardi is the only driver to be named after a team rather than vice versa.

Am I missing something? 

[dutra]

I always felt Diniz - Panis a bit similar.

[Dicun]

Am I missing something?

Both of these first names mean Charles but in French and Spanish, respectively.

[Risil]

 

(One of his descendants is racing at Daytona this weekend)

[Dicun]

Blundle and Brundell.

That’s not correct though. Brundle’s first name is Martin, Blundell’s first name is Mark.

Who?

[NewMrMe]

During 1989 Jonathan Palmer had both Jean Alesi and Johnny Herbert as a teammate.

But didn't he drive for the Martini team?

[Myrvold]

1968 in SA? 

 

Except it was two separate entries. Siffert for Rob Walker, Bonnier for his own team. But this time they actually drove the same chassis-engine combo, something they never did in 1965 when they did a full championship for Rob Walker (the only time that team had two cars in every race?)

[ensign14]

I thought that was Modena.

[garoidb]

Jacques Laffite and Jacky Ickx, Ligier 1979

[PlatenGlass]

Who?

Whoosh!

[midgrid]

I thought that was Modena.

Stefano Modena was born in Modena.

[midgrid]

Jack Brabham and Jack Fairman were briefly works Cooper team-mates in 1958.

[Anderis]

Nico berg and Nico berg were team-mates if you count being a test driver as a team-mate. I think I've forgotten to spell Ros and Hulken.

Also Ros Berg and Ross Brawn.

[LucaP]

Not same name, but still confusing:

Biagi-Bobbi-Bruni used to confuse the hell out of me (Ferrari in GT FIA, early 2000s)

Same series: Belloc-Bouchout

Same name:

Of course, Jorg and Dirk Muller (Bmw, Etcc/Wtcc)

Edited by LucaP, 29 January 2021 - 22:39.

[BobbyRicky]

Also Ros Berg and Ross Brawn.

 

Dont forget Ross Brown

[Dicun]

Not F1, but still a top racing series nevertheless: Andrea Dovizioso and Andrea Iannone were team mates at Ducati for quite a few years.

Oh, that made me remember:

 

Dirk Muller, Dirk Werner, Dirk Adorf and Dirk Andy Prilaux in the Nürburgring 24hrs race in 2010 (and IIRC more years as well).

[ARTGP]

Sebastian Loegier.

That was lovely. and Jorg Muller probably raced in a BMW that year too.  Dirk Muller had a trully indistinguishable calling at BMW.
