How many competitive on track passes not including the first lap do you think we will see at the up coming Spanish GP?

Keep in mind that last week in Sochi there was a total of zero competitive passes!

I'm going for 5 - 10 because of the long start/finish straight with the big stop into turn 1, with DRS there should be some overtaking (in theory).

Well, the FIA said there was one overtake at Sochi. That's down from 29 in 2016.

Last year's Spanish GP was pretty short on overtakes, but we rated it the best race of the year. So number of overtakes isn't everything.

Yeah, but they are a bit like the salt in the soup - w/o them, it tastes stale.

Who made this mystery pass? Thanks

One of the Force India engineers walked by a Haas engineer in the pits.
