Best Overtaking Manouvre of the decade#46590

Since this is the last yr (hopefully) on grooved tyres, might as well call it a decade; so... What is the best overtaking manouvre of this decade?

Note: Let's try and keep it to the front-runners. Perhaps because being in the pts DOES place significant extra pressure on daring moves. I know its unfair, but someone could make another poll about the best midfield passes.

Came out fighting indeed.

I voted for Hakkinen on Schumacher in 2000 at Spa. Must have been a tense moment for Zonta when he saw a Ferrari sweep by one side of his BAR and a McLaren round the other side.

Yes I remember that one! I remember the comment about a Zonta sandwich. That was good.

Gotta be Mika vs Shumacher at Spa you gotta give Zonda credit for not screwing it up

Found Montoya's
http://fr.youtube.com/watch?v=wHpIwrnybws
This is one the best passes from Montoya. 100% clean, in a track that no one passes and vs an equal car.

About Mika's pass... Here's onboard views. Check out Zonta's :shock:

I'm sure he wet his pants!
http://fr.youtube.com/watch?v=tmzGHS4Ltx0
another thing to mention is that I think the track was wet... or drying actually.

I'm still undecided...

but thanks to Racechick I got an idea and will look for footage to each of the passes on Youtube. I hope i find something for each....

My all time favorite hands down is Arnoux V Villeneuve 1979

But here are a few other good ones

Mansell Vs Piquet Silverstone 87

Schumacher vs Raikkonen Onboard - Brazil '06

Overtake Combo

Prost

Gilles Villeneuve: If someone said to me that you can have three wishes, my first would have been to get into racing, my second to be in Formula 1, my third to drive for Ferrari.
