F1 Fanatic

As many of you know we do our ‘Pass of the Year’ vote at the end of each season.

However it occurred to me last year that leaving it until the final round could mean that some passes from earlier races might be overlooked.

With that in mind, I’m inviting your nominations on a race-by-race basis this year.

So, what were the best passes of the Australian Grand Prix? Share your favourites below.

Here’s last year’s top ten: Top ten overtakes of 2011

I think that Vettel’s pass on Rosberg early in the race:

Nominations
1 and 2)
Raikkonen made two good overtakes in that race. He took Kobayashi round the outside of turn 4, and then the other Sauber on the last lap around the outside at turn 15. (Wasn’t seen on camera but I’m sure he took Perez under braking for that turn)

3)
Kobayashi repaid the favour on Kimi at the safety car restart. Got to the outside just as the cars started braking, any later and there might’ve been a big shunt. A good outbraking move round the outside.

4)
Vettel’s overtake round the outside of Rosberg at turn 9 was brilliant and further disproves anyone who says he can’t race.

My winner – 4)

Its hard for me to say this but I think vettels against Rosberg! Kill me now, but it was a great overtake and I must say I begin to realise he is not a one trick pony when it comes to racing!

Watched the highlights on bbc it was basically a re run but vettels oass on nico was straight out of the top drawer, it disproves this presistent notion that he cant pass, that was ovetake of the day but kobayashi on kimi was really good and kimi passing him around the outside of turn 4 they were brilliant moves, race was brilliant and the photo finish was unreal. But 4 me seb on nico is the 1.

What @Slr said.

I have to say that as much as Vettels move was brave, he would not have made that stick without the co-operation of Rosberg. Had he pulled that move around many other drivers he would not be on the race track coming out of the corner. It is a brave move but not as good as many of you think IMHO.

@djdaveyp85
So what is a good overtaking move if it can’t be brave? Was Webber’s brave overtaking on Alonso in Eau Rouge not a good overtaking move? Are 90% of Hamilton’s overtaking moves not good moves?
