Ahhhhhhhhhhh! Remember when passing use to happen on the track between the front runners?!?!? THere are some awesome videos on Youtube of great passes!!! One was Nelson Pique"s awesome pass around Senna on the outside in a complete four wheel drift... another was senna passing 4 cars in one lap... the first lap... going from 5th after turn one to first in the 93 race at Donnington! But there where many other great videos of great passes! Gilles and ???? passing each other multiple times each lap! I really think F1 needs to do away with being so reliant on Aero Grip and concentrate more on Mechanical Grip. Mechanical grip is has so much more feel and is more predictable to how much you will loose when your car gets sideways. I'm not sure Aero grip even works when you are sidways.?.? I would imagine it is more fun for the drivers to work with and manipulate when sidways in a turn as well.?.?
