Wow I had forgotten that Hamilton overtake - in his rookie year no less. That he managed to carry so much more speed through there when even Kimi locked a wheel as he broke so late....

i remember 3 o 4 very good maneuvers

1.- Fernnado alonso over michel schumacher year 2007 at suzuka, alonso passes schumi outside the 130R flat out, getting priority in the chicane

2.- Nick heidfield, at sepang, passes 2 cars (one of them is alonso) year 2007 i believe in the hairpin of the back straight

3.- hamilton on glock at brasil year 2008, last corner of the last lap of the last race of the year, very exciting

4.- Alonso in spa 2008, after rain came out, puts wet tyres nad passes about 8 cars in one lap.

I don't agree with Mansell on Senna. It was Ayrton's mistake not to take the same path Nigel took. He was probably distracted watching though the rear mirrors and was surprised by the backmarker and couldn't react fast enough.

Nigel's dribble on Piquet is fantastic.
Did Berger have some kind of problem? The speed at which the Ferrari overtook him and then took the corner... insane!

What happened at the 1979 French Grand Prix; the pass, repass, repass, repass and battle between Villeneuve and Arnoux is famous.

Racing should be decided on the track, not the court room.

Without a doubt, it has to be Senna at Donington:

Heidfeld is really a good overtaker ....very strange that his reputation is more centered around his steadyness ..just because he seems never to drop the ball...and always finishes races.

I think it's because rarely is his one lap pace amazing, it's always solid and dependable, but hardly ever enough to stand out from the crowd. He is a very solid racer though and car pull off good overtakes.

Hi all!
I've been following this forum threads for a while, but not until now, in this specific topic, I decided to join in. So, this is my first post.

The reason I decided to post here is just this:

Senna is my personal idol. In my opinion the best of all times. But I also have to recognize that he's been beaten in one of the most beautiful overtaking maneuvers ever.

I wish we could see overtaking like that more often. That was pure genius!
