Take a look at the two player coop mode in this developer diary clip for F1 2011:

Available online, the Co-op Championship mode brings two friends together in the same team as they work together for the Constructors’ crown whilst also competing separately for the Drivers’ Championship title. This brand new feature for F1 2011 gives players a taste of the intense sporting and political rivalry that exists between drivers in Formula One teams as they balance personal glory and directing the development of the car in their favour with achieving team goals.
