My next 2 videos are a tribute to the safety that motorsports have achieved in last decade or so. If the safety is not at what it is now these 2 drivers could be dead because of these crashes.

First from F1 Robert Kubica's huge shunt at Montreal during Canadian GP 2007.

20. CHAMPION AT HEART

Ferrari's Felipe Massa and McLaren-Mercedes wunderkind Lewis Hamilton battle each other back and forth for the 2008 F1 championship. It comes down to the season's last race, in Massa's home country, Brazil. Felipe finishes 1st and takes the championship, but his euphoria lasts but seconds, as just behind him, Hamilton passes Timo Glock, earning the additional point he needs to snatch the driving title from the passionate Ferrari piloto's hands. F1 crowns Hamilton its youngest-ever champion.[LEFT][COLOR=#000000]

Genius: I think last year I saw the development of the nose of the F1 car on Nat/Geo after Schumi's accident. I dont exactly remember, but that nose was unbreakble, no m atter what hits it..it just wont break which raised concerns amongst the engineers for a probable side-clash into another F1 car which the nose would break the tub like a spear which was also fatal. But then they figured out something that I can't exactly recall!

But I do remember that in 2008, The F1 cars were told to heighten their cockpit walls by 5 inches and must withstand an impact equivalent to 250 tonnes!!

@Toofan
Yes this overtake is equivalent to the The Pass from CART plus this becomes the defining point of Michal Hakkinenn rivalary.

@Genius: No more Mika to for Schumi now? is it?

@Toofan
Although I cannot understand your question correctly but if what I understand is what you are asking then here is the answer otherwise please forgive me for not understanding your question.
This overtaking move becomes the reference point of Michal and Mika rivalary because Schumacher Hakinenn rivalary is been regarded by all the F1 fans as the gentlemen's rivalary as neither of them get involved in suspicious tactics to damage other's race. This rivalary is total opposite of Senna/Prost rivalary of the late 80's early 90's where they both were involved in some incidents which have damage other's race. As for this overtake Mika was trying his best to overtake a lap earlier too but Michal has defended his position as much as possible but on this lap Zonta came in front of Michal and Michal have to slow down and go from the right while in slowing down Michal allows Mika to close the gap and as soon as Michal cross Zonta from the right Mika goes from the left. For me the real hero is Zonta because no one was expecting Mika's move and Zonta knows that Michal is about to pass him from the right as he has move towards his left so when he see Mika coming from the left he doesnot panic other wise a smallest lost of control by him and all the 3 cars will end up in the barriers after colliding each other. Just like this overtake a pic from 1993 becomes the reference point of Senna/Prost rivalary which I will post as soon as possible.
