Bahrain GP

i had a few videos of different angles but i'll need to find it in my old cd's.

it'll try to describe it in words though. basically MH was leading the race comfortably when he spun out in the wet. MS gained lead and was leading the race and pitted into dry tyres. So did MH a couple of laps later. MS had a lead of over 10 secs and lap after lap MH was cutting it down. when it was close enough, MH tried an overtaking but ran a bit wide into the grass. MS started to drive defensively but MH followed closed enuff. then came the lap. MS and MH pass thru the start/finish line closely, went thru the hair pin, and up into la source corner, the world greatest corner. MH was still following closely, up they went thru la source and into kemmel straight. this straights is the best part of the track to overtake. MH was in MS slipstream. then there was this backmarker, ricardo zonta in bar honda. MS tried to take advantage of the backmarker so he overtook zonta from the left. MH was being desperate and wanted to do the MOVE OF THE YEAR, he overtook zonta simultaneously from the right just when MS jinked to the left. 3 cars drove side by side for a moment and this sounds like an accident waiting to happen as this straights is normally just nice for 2 cars but somehow MS and MH pull it thru. MS and MH were side by side heading into a sharp Lee Combe right hand corner. seems like they were gonna crash but MH edges pass MS into the right hander and superbly takes number 1. MS was left dumbfounded and continued on to finish 2nd while MH takes glory.

i know my description sucks but words don't do justice till u see that move.

it's the la source hairpin.... and eau rouge preceeds the kemmel straight. :)


on the lap prior to the pass mika didn't go on to the grass as i remember it. He was going for a pass along the kemmel straight but michael turned in on him and they touched, forcing mika to back off.

my bad! la source hair pin and eau rouge corner, thanks for correcting!

prior to that lap, MH was hounding MS and tried a move in which MS blocked and MH had to run a bit wide and brake hard but not into the grass as i earlier suggested.

i have found those video clips in my cd. how do i post it up here? i've got some great videos to share with u guys.

to those who didn't watch that race or in particular that move, go download it somewhere. that overtaking manouvre is what you call 'balls of steel'.

i thought the BAR driver were Villeneuve at that time... i bet Schumi is still swearing at him now...

but truly that move was super brave...imagine losing traction at that corner...it would have taken the 3 cars out all at once...definitely big hopes and big dissapointment for Ferrari that day...

Was this the same particular year when our silly Villeneuve was trying to out do his teammate by out flipping during qualifying at the eaurogue
