    Without a doubt, Vettel on Rosberg.

    If I’m not wrong, Kobayashi was already overtaking some guys before DRS being enabled… we have to take this into consideration …

    I would say it is Vettel on Rosberg, though there were some other good ones from Kobayashi and Raikkonen.

    I vote for Vettel’s pass as well. It was a clever one – he used most of his KERS out of turn 8, far from ideal for laptime but obviously allowed him to pass Rosberg. I suppose he learnt it from Hamilton in Shanghai last year!

    Vettel on Rosberg and Kobayashi on Raikkonen are about as good as each other. I can’t recall ever seeing a driver pass around the outside at either corner!

    @katederby I’m not sure Webber’s ‘pass’ (no idea what to call it! :P) on Rosberg was that good. He wasn’t far enough alongside to make a move stick and probably should have backed out before the turn-in. He’s lucky, because I wouldn’t have blamed Rosberg if he turned in and they had collided. Nico was very courteous, and paid the price by running wide.

    Vettel on Rosberg for me: Kobayashi on Raikkonen was more of an accidental pass. I believe Kobi just outbraked himself and accidentally passed Raikkonen before even realising it!

    Definitely Vettel on Rosberg. That move was amazing and proved that he CAN drive.

    Vettel v Rosberg and Raïkkönen v Kobayashi stood out.

    Look at what I’ve found! It seems I was wrong — Vettel wasn’t the first to pass around the outside of turn 9.
