Back in 2005, Lewis Hamilton and Sebastian Vettel were already racing against each other, albeit in Formula 3 Euroseries. Returning to the championship that year, the Briton simply smashed the field, claiming 15 wins out of 20 races. Meanwhile, rookie Vettel quietly established himself to secure a top-five finish in the final standings. Two years later, the pair would already be racing in Formula One.
