The Overtaking Thread

[jso1985]

Hamilton on Alonso and Rosberg on Schumacher(no need of an "R" now...) were the best

While Coulthard showed why he should retire

[A Scotsman]

Hamilton on Alonso wasn't an overtaking manouevre it was one of those "where do I go now? Wow that was lucky" incidents..

[AJP]

OK...

Round 2....and Lewis takes the gong again for his first corner antics...

can he make it 3 from 3....?

[Robinho]

Yes Lewis's move around both Ferrari's was awesome, but i think the best moves of the race came from Wurz who took several cars through the race and in articular round the outside of a Red Bull (DC?) at the same corner Massa couldn't pass at.

for sheer balls and race changing effects the vote would go to Lewis again though

Overtaking at the start of the race isn't really like a proper overtaking move.

Has Lewis overtaken anyone on track apart from at the start of the race? Or when blue flags are being shown?

Wurz drove a solid race, ignored by most.

[ShiftingGears]

Past the first corner, Wurz around the outside of DC. I think it was turn 4.

Lewis battling the Ferrari's and retaking 2nd from Massa. Classic.

[N. Jones]

Wurz overtaking Coultard was good. There was another too....
(i've seen some clips of the race from other countries and they should some overtaking that SpeedTV in US didn't show....)

[Dzeidzei]

the rosberg and DC overtakes were very similar, apart from the fact one was seen by the other driver and the other wasn't.

if Wurz had moved over (not that he should have done) DC probably would have sailed serenley into the gravel on his own, whereas Nico managed to wrestle the car round the corner.

Really? Is that why DC apologized for ruining Wurz´s race?

I think the difference between those 2 overtaking moves was that one was nicely timed and perfectly lined and the other one plain stupid. Maybe because of frustration or whatever, but still stupid.

But my candidate has to be Lewis. Not for the 1st corner stuff at Malaysia (Massa caused most of that all), but the way he retook 2nd place after Massa went off. Great defensive driving. And he was 3rd for a while so it must qualify for an overtaking?

To be honest, being so quick into those first corners he hasn't had much chance.....
