    Overtaking move of the season?

    My vote goes to Massa on Barrichello and Kovalainen. That was pretty nice. Just read the June issue of F1 racing and apparently he was the one who overtook the most people in 2007, so maybe there's more to him than just a driver who converts poles to wins.
    Forza Ferrari!

    Yeah it's the best one yet. It was wild to see Kovi exiting the turn going sort of straight but sideways with opposite lock cranked into the wheel as Massa overtook.

    Twas a wonderful manouevre!

    Heidfeld on Massa or Alonso (?) earlier on in the season was great as well.

    I hope Massa has silenced all those critics, who say that he is a "soft racer, who can't pass and only can have a good race from pole position" etc. To me it seems he is a real fighter. Already his Sauber days showed it (if I remember correctly, then in 2004 he made more passes than anyone else) and also last year's Silverstone and Fuji GP's (fabulous battle with Kubica). Thumbs up. A shame that not only poor qualifying, but a botched pitstop ruined his race, but he made most out of the disadvantages!

    Heidfeld on Massa? Don't remember that one, not this season!

    Heidfeld on Alonso and another car, in Sepang, yes it was another masterful move!

    You won't see that!
    Those who criticize him do it because he had (has) MS in his corner, and we all know people around here didn't like MS.

    And BTW I was impressed with Felipe today, and the move was one of the best for quite some time.

    I agree absolutely. Massa's racecraft today was no one-off.
