These are stats without first-lap overtakes:

1. Button 74
2. Schumacher 73
3. Webber 72
4. Perez 70
5. Buemi 70
6. Alguersuari 68
7. Hamilton 67
8. Massa 67
9. Kobayashi 65
10. Maldonado 62

Goes to show Schumacher does have a lot of good starts.

7. Sergio Perez 87
8. Rubens Barrichello 86
9. Jenson Button 85
10. Felipe Massa 82

The only way these stats make sense is if you look at the names and realize that they're the drivers that hung around the back of the field and time and time again had to pass the Virgin, HRT and Lotous cars for position and then had to pick their way through Willimas Toro Rosso and Saubers as well. And they did this time and time again.

I think the reason Button is even on this list is because of Canada where he passed like 30 cars for position that day alone.

So I'm not sure where the "best overtakers" nomenclature come in... perhaps most prolific overtakers?

Proof of how pathetic Vettel is. Doesn't feature anywhere in the list!

Well it's not like he had to do much overtaking is it?

Schumacher the top passer eh? So much for him loosing it according to the BBC's so-called expert pundits!

I got these from another forum (should I say it for credit, or not say because of publicity?)

1. Button 74
2. Schumacher 73
3. Webber 72
4. Perez 70
5. Buemi 70
6. Alguersuari 68
7. Hamilton 67
8. Massa 67
9. Kobayashi 65
10. Maldonado 62

(I think the difference is in first lap overtakes, which they don't factor)

Name and shame 'em Hansy!

Lol - i never get to use that thumb down smiley so finally did - and was pretty sure everyone knowing I'm a Vettel-lamb would tell it's sarcasm.

Just a tad concerned - Andrew I thought you knew me better!

Just a tad concerned - I thought you could tell the difference between andrew from LewEng....They're very different.

Hmmm... even when I read it the first time I thought it was Andrew, maybe it's because I'm not used to seeing Lew post a picture of Vettel on this forum!

I was actually forced to have a Vettel avatar once actually

Any road, I was pretty sure you were being sarcastic, but I still saw it as an excuse to post a good pic anyway

It was the honorable thing to do after you had dug your own grave

Overtakes ON YOUR TEAM MATE is quite an interesting statistic. Lewis has done more of those than anyone else this year. Seven.
