[Grizzly]

Here we go then... Galahads summary is in, so lets begin nominations for overtake of the weekend. As ever, you can nominate as many passes as you like, we will vote on our favourites once the nominations have dried up at the end of the week.

Please copy/paste the lines from Galahads summary to make it nice and obvious for me to track and update as we go.

Keke's overtake video summary will go in later in the week.

I'll get the ball rolling...

Most obviously and, for 1st place no less:

Lap 5 - 1 Vettel passed 5 Alonso for 1st

Vettel certainly put some of my doubts over his fighting ability to bed with this shot round the outside of Alonso!

 

[Vortex]

Well Liuzzi made the most places at the start!
But in all seriousness its got to be Vettels on Alonso, it wasn’t the only overtake on the outside of that corner that race but as it was for the lead of the race plus he didn’t need the win as he’s so far in front in the WDC plus it was half on the grass made it all the more impressive!

 

[teabagyokel]

Button on Schumacher. For astoundingly good opportunism.

 

[KekeTheKing]

Here's my nomination;

Lap 13 - 3 Hamilton passed 7 Schumacher for 3rd
7 Schumacher passed 3 Hamilton for 3rd

And here's the Onboard Overtaking Video. Great job by the director this week, he jumped all around and caught most of the action. Enjoy!

 

[Dario Resta]

A tough one this. Vettel for keeping his foot in? Button for overtaking the two toughest competitors on the track? I'll give it to JB, not just for the pass on Schuey, but also being in the right place to take advantage when Schuey made Lewis wet himself, and all in the same lap.

Lap 16 - 4 Button passed 3 Hamilton for 4th
4 Button passed 7 Schumacher for 3rd

Edit: Didn't read the instructions! Repaired!

 

[FB]

It's a shame first laps passes don't count. How many cars would Liuzzi have got past before T-boning Nico at the first chicane?

 

[Brogan]

They were off the circuit so don't count, as per G's methodology

 

[KekeTheKing]

Here's the overtaking summary from the World Feed (BBC Broadcast)

 

[ExtremeNinja]

Lap 13 - 3 Hamilton passed 7 Schumacher for 3rd
7 Schumacher passed 3 Hamilton for 3rd

A lot of the others were like taking candy from a baby but these overtakes were very hard earnt.

If I didn't think that Vettel's overtake on Alonso was impatient and wreckless, which I do, it may have been a contender.

 

[Road of Bones]

Lap 16 - 4 Button passed 7 Schumacher for 3rd

Ok - Schumi's rear tyres were pretty shot, but the way JB had reeled them both in and capitalised on "the chop" in the space of a single lap made me leap up from the sofa in a moment of savage joy!*

*and let us not forget that the one of the entertainment purposes of Motor-racing is to create such blood-stirring moments - I know that technically it perhaps wasn't the best overtake of the weekend, but it was the one that gave me most pleasure...

Going for Senna on Buemi, some guys in Midfield teams would just stick with a point if they were to score their first points in F1, but Senna gambled and hunted down Buemi and his move could just give him a job at Renault again next season.

 

[Grizzly]

Nominations so far:

Lap 5 - 1 Vettel passed 5 Alonso for 1st

Lap 13 - 3 Hamilton passed 7 Schumacher for 3rd / 7 Schumacher passed 3 Hamilton for 3rd

Lap 16 - 4 Button passed 3 Hamilton for 4th / 4 Button passed 7 Schumacher for 3rd

Lap 47 - 9 Senna passed 18 Buemi for 9th

That was an enjoyable couple of laps with Senna hustling Buemi. I liked the way Senna got blocked once or twice, then waited for his moment and completely closed him out into the chicane

I have another as well.

Lap 36 - 4 Button passed 5 Alonso for 3rd

Nice little punch and counter punch. Great respect between both drivers.

4 Button passed 7 Schumacher for 3rd
I think these were near enough one move, but guess the one on Lewis was easy as he had to back out after being pushed on the grass, but the one on Schumacher was stunning, especially after lewis had so much trouble trying the same thing. Also loved Buttons comment about just closing his eyes and going for it..

 

[Lewywo4]

No question that Sebastian's passing move on Fernando, when he kept his foot down on Kinky Kylie, Luscious Liz, or whatever the hell he names his cars, was the move of the day.

[VanChallis]

Vettel's on Alonso for me. Brave (almost to the point of stupidity, but not quite) and very well executed.
Can't really call Button's pass on Hamilton a pass as Lewis was recovering from being "encouraged" on to the grass by Schumi, and Schumi didn't put up any fight at all against Button, which I found odd. Honourable mention to Senna for hunting down Buemi even though he didn't really have to

 

[Brogan]

and Schumi didn't put up any fight at all against Button, which I found odd.

His tyres were gone - he pitted at the end of that lap.

 

[ExtremeNinja]

His tyres were gone - he pitted at the end of that lap.

But button wore Schumi's tyres out by looking at them Lewis looked at them for ages and they remained in tact.

 

[Road of Bones]

It was all a cunning ploy by Jenson, I tell ya - see, he used Lewis as his hare to hassle the Schu 'til his tyres were well 'n truly jiggered, and then swooped for the easy kill, leaving them both panting in his dust!
