Barrichello's move on Kimi at Silverstone was easily the best of the year. I was very surprised to see the
F1 Racing MOTY overtaking move of the year go to Montoya for Nurburgring move. It was impressive, but nothing like Rubens's devilishly cunning, carefully calculated and outstandingly executed move at Bridge. Rubens is the undisputed king of overtaking in F1.
In terms of specific action, the opening lap of the Italian GP was most brilliantly entertaining we saw all year. Montoya stuck his nose ahead on the outside - a bold and risky move - but Michael put him back in his place by sensationally braving it out on the outside of the next part of the chicane, forcing Montoya to back out of it. Then Trulli looked as though he was going to pull off a move to catch JPM unawares, but didn't have the momentum.
Awww, it sends shivers down my spine every time I watch that footage!
