The Best overtaking move ever, bar none!!!!

Seriously watch till the end

 

The double on Webber and Sato and then Schumacher further round the lap.

 

I was there for that move at the old bust stop! Those V10's were screamers.

 

Ooh, good thread.

Could fill this with lots of Mansell specials such as Hungary 89 on Senna, Mexico 90 against Berger etc etc.

One that doesn't get much coverage, but is a brilliant piece of driving was against Berger at Portugal in 1989. I'll try and get a YouTube video later when at home, but he drafts Berger on the straight, then uses the tow from two backmarkers to get alongside, then boxes Berger in behind the backmarkers before then overtaking both backmarkers, all before the end of the straight, still leaving Berger behind both the backmarkers. Cunning, skilful and very well executed.

I know a lot is given to Hakkinen v Schuey and Zonta move, but in many ways this one is just as good as he gets the move done then disadvantages the guy he was overtaking as well.

Sometimes its not just the balls-out moves that deserve credit.

Highlights of the race here:

The move is about four minutes in but it was building up from around three minutes. Going to watch the whole lot later I think.

 

Even better seeing it again properly. Mansell knew exactly what he was doing there.


The rest of the race, ah yes, the pitstop, the black flag and Senna...........

Is a truly great race. Had everything

 

It's like he was playing F1 on a console and had it set on beginner level for his rivals!

 

lol, I thought the same, his closing speed was so fast it was as if the McLarens had been transported back in time.

 

One of my personal fave Mansell moments.
