Top Ten feuding team-mates after Sebastian Vettel and Mark Webber's clash

After Sebastian Vettel and Mark Webber's latest bust-up, we look at the biggest incidents of team-mate rivalries boiling over.
Prost v Senna One of Formula One's greatest rivalries ironically had its iconic moment when both men raced for the same McLaren team during the 1989 season - although the Frenchman had already said he would leave for Ferrari at the end of the campaign due to having Senna as a team-mate. With the title coming down to the duo, they clashed in Japan with both men leaving the track at Suzuka. Senna continued as Prost had to retire, but the Brazilian was disqualified for running through the chicane meaning that Prost claimed the world title in controversial circumstances. The two would continue to lock horns as they went their separate ways. Henson v Toulon Welshman Gavin Henson tried a number of times to resurrect his faltering rugby career, but he hardly helped matters himself during a short but headline-grabbing spell with French side Toulon. Henson was banned and fined for a couple of drinking incidents, most notably when he ended up fighting with a couple of his disgruntled team-mates after a drunken rant against Jonny Wilkinson, amongst others. Unsurprisingly the French club did not offer him a new contract after his short-term move expired. Lewsey v Cipriani When rugby players clash they really mean business, and former Army man Josh Lewsey was in no mood to take any stick from young team-mate Danny Cipriani as they clashed during a heated defensive drill at Wasps in 2008. Cipriani apparently threatened Lewsey to watch his mouth, but he should have been watching his fists as World Cup winner Lewsey then laid out his team-mate with a knockout punch that left him with a cut lip and nose. Batty v Le Saux England and Blackburn international team-mates David Batty and Graeme Le Saux clashed after just four minutes of their team's UEFA Champions League tie against Spartak Moscow in Russia. The pair collided as they chased a ball into touch, before exchanging a few choice words and eventually getting physical. Tim Sherwood pulled the two apart but the damage was done as they continued to bicker throughout the game- which turned out to be a 3-0 hammering by the Russians. Hartson v Berkovic Unlike the other two on our list, this footballing clash did occur on the training ground, but it was captured on camera as big Welshman John Hartson laid into Israel international Eyal Berkovic with a left-footed volley to the head as tempers really flared down at West Ham. Hartson has since stated his regret at the incident, but the images live on long in the memory. Steve Smith v Ken Lucas NFL is a hard-hitting sport so from time-to-time tempers often boil over - given that part of the game is to lay your hands on your opponent and physically try to get the better of them. Even in training players put their all in, and for Carolina Panthers duo Smith and Lucas that overstepped mark resulted in Smith smacking Lucas, breaking his nose and giving him a black eye. The Panthers suspended Smith for two games, maybe also because he had previously belted another team-mate during a session watching a training film.
