overtake of the year ****SPOILERS****

Hehehe twas a good one I'll give you that..

 

don't sell him short...he's done some awesome overtakes this year.

 

That's the one I was thinking of when I saw the thread title.

 

I was thinking the result of McNish overtaking that Ferrari.............

 

Didn't he do another similar one on Webber and/or Button when the three of them were battling?

His overtake of Hamilton at Monaco was also a good opportunistic move.

 

Amazing considering he was outside on the wet line..

 

Once again the emperor schools the apprentices. Class.

 

Unfortunately his clothes were only visible while it rained...

 

C'mon...he's still got it! It was a fantastic drive. He still brings it...no doubt about it.

They say rain shows how good the driver is instead of how good the car is...like Vettel in Monza for his first win.

I guess that makes MS the 4th best driver on the grid lol

 

Peter, unless MS is driving a Ferrari, Andreas will never give him credit. He is too hurt the fact that MS was going to come back with Ferrari and then went to Mercedes at the last minute.

 

Which is when it matters most!

 

ahhh..so that's the problem.

haha

Can't please everyone.

 

Now this is a really great, funny answer! Way to go.

 

Hamilton @ Silverstone outstanding drive in the rain I forgot what year tho.

 

Hamilton is awesome in the rain.

 

95% sure it was 2008.

 

Vettel, Hamilton and Schu are the rain masters of the present crop of drivers. Alonso used to be ok too - but lately he seems to have lost his touch in the wet.

 

95% sure it was 2008.

 

Thanks.

MS drove great in the rain, no question, but calling him "The Emperor" and the other WDCs in the field "apprentices" is a stretch. Particularly when looking at the current WDC points standings.

MS did so well for a variety of reasons:
- he loves this track
- he is good in the rain
- he had a wet weather setup on the car (my guess, but that's how interpret the rise and fall of performance of the car)
- some key players were no longer in the game (Alonso, Hamilton)

So he roled the dice and looked like a winner (well at least 2nd) until the track dried up.

That said he blew Rosberg into the weeds. And that to me is much more important than passing a few cars with the wrong setup. Lets see whether the trend continues or not.

 

That's all you can judge him on.

So do you think he suddenly learnt how to drive on Sunday, and now he'll forget by the next race? lol

 

Respect for what he did and still does. Unfortunately not as often as he used to ... This was another fine moment for any F1 fan. That's what we want to see ... all day long.
