[QUOTE="prodigy, post: 709860, member: 232"] Its no surprise that overtaking is a luxury in formula 1 nowadays. Last race was a perfect example of boring race, when overtaking doesn't happen. What i notice is that drivers rather wait till the pitstop to do the overtakings and Kimi at france this year, just shows how many position you can gain if you take a late pitstop and push real hard while the opposition are recovering from their outlaps. But really its hard to see the top drivers fighting for positions because the gap between each cars performance is so vast. Whenever Alonso or Raikkonen starts at the front, they just dissapear from the rest the moment the lights go off and there's no chance or whatsoever that the rest catchup. Besides, i find it weird when Trulli slows down the rest of the field and they're unable to overtake him despite having a car thats at least 1 second a lap faster than him. Its like they can follow him in the straights but when its near to the corners and exiting it, they sort of lose momentum. I'm just wondering if the aerodynamics of the cars messed up the downforce of the car behind him that results in the car behind losing grip, therefor unable to overtake. And year, the sweet memories of Dijon 79. I was not even born yet but i have that video clip of gilles villeneuve and rene arnoux battling it out on the last lap. Great stuff! [/QUOTE]
