[Video] Top 15 overtakes of 2012
This video gave me goosebumps. Any questions why Kimi and Alonso are two of my favourites???
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6IVvlXfvfOc I bet this video goes viral, great commercial for F1 IMO. |

Maybe the thread title could be modified to add the word video?

Some great overtakes in there, several of which I had forgotten.
But where was the Hulk's pass on both Hamilton and Grosjean in Korea? |

Thanks for posting that. Good to be reminded of some of those. I wouldn't personally have put that Massa move at number 1. It was one of the hairiest but only just executed in the end. I thought Alonso's on Webber in Abu Dhabi should have been placed higher. That Hamilton and Alonso Silverstone battle was nice, the whole thing really, between both of them.

The weird thing about Kimi is that he really likes to use the outside line.
(And I know it`s not the only weird thing) |

I love those "Top ..." by the end of the season, great shots and controversial to discuss.

Definitely.
Alonso had perfected that move on Grosjean. Romain should have been warned by his race engineer. Actually, it surprised me more drivers didn't think it'd be better to defend the outside of Turn 1, given the way it leads into Turn 2. That was like taking candy from a baby for Fernando. |

Nice video! Personally I would have put Kimis Eau Rouge move as number one though.

Nice though it was, I don't think it was that amazing. He had a clear line on the left. Webber's was more challenging.

The Sky Sports F1 show mentioned this one, but Hulk had all 4 wheels off the circuit when he made the pass. (which then led onto the "why wasn't he penalised like Vettel was in Germany, no consistancy debate!)

The great thing is that we're actually discussing a significant number of great overtaking moves - after so many seasons of trying to spot one that didn't happen in the pits..........

Maybe so, I just remember when it happened it made me think of what an incredibly smart racing driver Kimi is, avoiding the DRS-zone comeback and everything.

I think that was the better bit was the move in context, his DRS wasnt good enough to get him past schumacher up the straight into les combes. If he got past at the bus stop schumacher, schuy maintais speed and passes him back at les combes. He passed schumacher at pretty much the only place on the track he could as doing it through eau rouge forced schuy to back out of the throttle and loose speed along the straight to les combes and put enough distance between himself and schumacher there. Very clever indeed. This video demonstrates it all if you can be bothered to watch it (bit long) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rHVXXWLr29M |
