As regular F1 Fanatic readers will know, part of the end-of-season review includes your verdict on the best overtaking moves of the year.
But to do that we’ll need a shortlist, and that’s where this thread comes in.
What do you think were the best overtaking moves of 2016? Nominate up to five below from this season (keep in mind there’s still one race to go at the moment) and the ones with the most nominations will go into the final poll.
I’m not expecting anything too epic to come from Abu Dhabi, but there are a few which spring to mind:
Verstappen -> Rosberg – Silverstone
Verstappen -> Rosberg – Brazil
Verstappen on the outside of Rosberg in the wet in either Silverstone or Interlagos.
Vettel on Sainz and Hulkenberg in China (has to be mentioned somewhere!!)
Räikkönen on Nasr (Hungaroring), Verstappen on Perez (Interlagos), Magnussen on Palmer (Circuit of the Americas), Vettel on Hülkenberg and Sainz (Shanghai International Circuit), Hülkenberg on Bottas (Suzuka)
Does Ricciardo’s move back past Verstappen in Malaysia count? Because that was amazing on the outside with older tyres.
Precioso el paralelo que han mantenido Ricciardo y Vertappen que finalmente ha dado la victoria al australiano. pic.twitter.com/Dxzklilnl2

Raikkonen on Nasr (Hungary)
Perez on Massa (Spa)
Verstappen on Rosberg (Silverstone)
Verstappen on Perez (Brazil)
Kvyat on Ericsson (USA)Really tough call between Verstappen on Rosberg at Interlagos or Becketts. With an honourable mention of his move on Vettel at Interlagos for making me lol.
Magnussen on Ricciardo at Sochi.
Nominating it because it (a) was a great battle between K-Mag and Danny Ric and (b) because I’m sure no one else will nominate it because it happened so early in this ridiculously long season most will have forgotten about it!
@GeeMac, haven’t even seen that footage. Great call, surely deserves a mention and definitely is up there with all of Verstappen his moves.
1)Ricciardo vs Bottas
2)Verstappen vs Rosberg Brazil
3)Verstappen vs Rosberg Silverstone
4)Vettel at Hulk&Sainz
5)Kimi at Nasr rally style!!!
6)Hulk vs Bottas (see ya later!)Verstappen -> Rosberg – Silverstone
Verstappen -> Rosberg – Brazil
Rosberg on verstappen at Abu Dhabi. ( probably the most intense battle for ROS this year)
There was a bit more to Raikkonen’s move on Hamilton at Singapore than what was covered in the world feed. Other nominations include Raikkonen on Nasr at Hungary, Verstappen on Rosberg at Silverstone (or Interlagos), Rosberg on Verstappen in Abu Dhabi. Interestingly, I can’t recall a single overtake from Hamilton that stood out,unless I’m missing something.
