After reading the previous post about no overtaking in F1 anymore, I thought I'd share this video I found online:

Hopefully we'll see just a little bit of this over the weekend!

I'm not so sure Diego but I hope you're right, only Lewis managed to overtake consistently last weekend!

If it keeps raining every race weekend then overtaking will continue, but as soon as it gets consistently hot then it will be like Bahrain all over again.

Let's look forward to the British and Belgian rounds then! Rain an almost certainty!

I don't think we are out of the woods yet with overtaking. If the Ferraris and Mclarens hadn't botched their qualifying and race strategies in Melbourne and Sepang the races would have been quite a bit more dull as all the front runners would have been up front and stuggling to overtake each other.

I hope I am wrong...

We'll see Catalunya, both there and in China there is a long straight leading into a sharp corner so even if it was dry then there's a good opportunity there.

Here's an interesting fact; out of 39 passes made by a McLaren car so far this season, Hamilton has made 32 of them. Button has made 7 passes and won 2 races, who needs overtaking?!
