Fantastic!!

No wonder the Italians called Mansell 'the lion'.

Re: F1 Best Overtakings

Very Good, but they missed a very good one, last year when Alonso overtook Schumacher on the outside on a very fast long left corner

only need to see the first 30 seconds of it really!

Re: F1 Best Overtakings

remember when Ferrari launched their turbo F1 car (the 126?) back in the early 80's - amazing forward thrust, hopeless in corners.....F1 was so exciting then

Re: F1 Best Overtakings

Villeneuve's biography is a belting read, catch it if you can.

Captures those days brilliantly.

Re: F1 Best Overtakings

Excellent, reminded me why I used to watch F1 religiously (thats right, every Sunday)!!

Mansell featured heavily there, must be the greatest all time image from F1, Spainish GP, Mansell (one of the bravest and most exciting drivers, especially if you are a Brit) banging wheels with Senna (arguably the greatest driver of all time) with sparks flying.

Not sure if it's true but I heard that it was against the rules to overtake now!

Re: F1 Best Overtakings

i used to love watching mansell - he was exciting to watch and easily the best overtaker out there, i think f1 missed him badly when he retired.he had some serious car control, now in f1 the most exciting parts and where most passes are made is in the pits - how sad is that!!!!!

you should have a montage of the best motogp overtakes - i bet rossi would be in every one, at least 1 good thing come out of f1 being a yawn i started watching motogp
