I don´t really see how you rate DRS overtakings as high as real overtakings.beelsebob wrote:I don't really see how it's more exciting than Webber on Schumacher or Button on Schumacher from last race.Traction wrote:Wheel to wheel at over 300 kms p/h coming into a tight corner at the end of a long straight, both drivers not wanting to give an inch? Makes a good one for me. What I liked about it is that you can see Senna looking over on two occasions while Mansell is completely focused on the corner, almost as if Senna blinked first and hence lost the corner.
How very true, then it becomes more than a physical manoeuver and becomes a synthesis between art and war. Just like watching fencers parry and thrust, drivers do the same, attempting to force their opponent into the slightest mistake so they can capture an advantage, and turn it into a pass. For me, it's freaking fun and amazing to be witness to such motorized combat, performed with skill and brains, courage and strength of will.n smikle wrote:To me, a great pass has to be set up from many turns away, and it must be premeditated, deliberate car control, something like a chess game. Not just something that happens and you react to it. That's just me though.
it takes mad skills to pass someone not even racing because you're the only one that forgot we're under the safety car all through the last lap of the race.mep wrote:Schumacher vs Alonso Monaco 2010.
This is part true, but a larger part is being able to judge and feel where the grip is, how much longer you can brake and how early you can get the power down compared to an opponent at any given part of a race. Sometimes an overtake is great because it's so unexpected, seeing a car go clean around the outside for example.DaveKillens wrote:How very true, then it becomes more than a physical manoeuver and becomes a synthesis between art and war.
