It already did !

[darwin dali]

Well, then... you might as well move in with the grumpy old geezers and play bridge and complain about the loud young people all day, Statler.

[texasmr2]

My body may be getting old but my mind, on good day's, still let's me act like I'm 18!

The banter has been great fun but I think we have highjacked losthero's thread long enough, dont you think?

[darwin dali]

As I was saying, FM knows very well how to overtake - leads the stats in that department...

[texasmr2]

Man I must be getting old as I used to be able to remember just about every detail about every race. I used to actually keep a statistic's log would you believe? Glad everyone is up to par on the stat's and I think I will start another log for the '08 seaon just for fun.

[Tero]

You may correct me if i´m wrong

And this seems pretty interesting as well (one would have to adjust the numbers for the number of races participated):

Most Passes 1998-2007
=====================

Using the data from my statistics these are all drivers who have achieved
50 or more passes.

193 R Barrichello *
154 M Schumacher

147 R Schumacher *
145 D Coulthard *
121 J Button *
117 G Fisichella *
108 J Villeneuve
103 O Panis

74 F Alonso *
73 H-H Frentzen
71 N Heidfeld *
70 M Webber *
67 E Irvine
54 J Verstappen
50 M Salo

One other driver who didn't quite make the cut - Mika Häkkinen (49).

[losthero]

i dont think this is actully correct bcos the point i was trying to get across is a actual passing move on another driver, not gaining a place bcos someone ahead of them has ritired in a grand prix.

[losthero]

but thank you for posting the statistics, this is really cool stuff, how did you complie this, you are really smart, i have huge respect for you.

[darwin dali]

Those ARE passing manoeuvres that were for position.

Brian Lawrence has been compiling this kind of data for every race for years.

I personally think that Ferrari is going to dominate next season
and mclaren tries to keep up, but can do nothing about it

I agree. Ferrari: better drivers, better leadership (especially if RB comes back), better pits, better relationship with Bridgestone ( ), better relationship with the FIA ( ) - all this should make up for the deficit in the spying-on-others department and the advantages that comes with that
