Poll 2011 Belgian Grand Prix Overtake of the Weekend [Poll added]

[KekeTheKing]

Credit to Alonso on that one for being aware I reckon.

That's the reason I don't see it as the Overtake of the Weekend. It was completely dependent on another driver. Historically, you simply do not pass into the entry of Eau Rouge. We've seen what can happen at Spa when the driver on the inside does not yield.

Webbers overtake was impressive but was also very very risky

If Alonso had moved over to the left a little, not seeing Webber or just making a slight mistake under pressure, we could be talking about the biggest smash for a while.

With the stewarding decisions and the attitude of certain pundits and fans to other recent 'risky' moves, how can the one that was lucky to turn out well be any better than similar ones that were unlucky to turn out not well?

I have made a fuller comment in the double standards thread

Its one of those, if it works it's amazing, if it doesn't it's silly and dangerous.

It was fascinating and extremely brave, but i won't be voting for it i don't think because it relied heavily on a very aware and quick reacting Alonso. Both cars could just as easy have been in the barrier, hard.

Here's some more pleasant viewing. Massa gets double mugged after putting himself out of position on the outside into Les Combes.

and some genuine wheel to wheel from Massa and Alonso for once!

I like that battle. Good driving from all parties to avoid each other, particularly the little slide as Massa desperately tries to get some grip out of the corner, so it gets a nomination as one move i think...

Lap 5 - 5 Alonso passed 6 Massa for 3rd / 3 Hamilton passed 6 Massa for 4th

I think a lot of people mugged Massa this weekend! Can you copy paste the line / lines from Galahads summary...

Lap 5 - 5 Alonso passed 6 Massa for 3rd
3 Hamilton passed 6 Massa for 4th

 

[Grizzly]

I can assure you I will not be voting for Webber's suicide attempt.

 

[Jos the Boss]

I can assure you I will be voting for Webber's suicide attempt

 

[Sarinaide]

Webber past Alonso who was coming out the pits, was it really that wow?

 

[Jos the Boss]

Yes it was at Eau Rouge, tyre stages do not matter the fact it was at Eau Rouge just settles it for me! If that didn't happen it would of been Vettel at blanchimont

 

[no-FIAt-please]

Hmm I'm torn between Webber's pass on Alonso at Eau Rouge and Hamilton's pass on Massa after Rivage. While Alonso's overtake was also good I think he was very lucky that they removed the gravel trap.

 

[sushifiesta]

The stand out moves for me are Alonso/Hamilton on Massa, Webber on Alonso and Vettel on Rosberg and I'm going to find it tough to decide which one gets my vote!

EDIT: Having said all that Hamilton on Maldonado in Q2 was good as well given the circumstances (he needed that lap to get through). Most drivers would have backed out I feel.

 

[ExtremeNinja]

No contest.

Lap 9 - 2 Webber passed 5 Alonso for 8th

 

[Vortex]

Webber on Alonso for me too, I also clenched! lol
