Top 10 F1 overtakes of all-time

#3 - Fernando Alonso on Michael Schumacher (Japan 2005)

A wet qualifying session had shaken up the grid for the 2005 Japanese Grand Prix with the likes of Michael Schumacher and Fernando Alonso both starting well outside the top 10. Both made their way past the slower cars at an impressive rate but by Lap 19 of 53, Alonso was now attempting to pass Schumacher for fifth.

Alonso was faster but the seven-time world champion was placing his Ferrari perfectly to defend from the Spaniard. However, even the most prolific champion in F1 history could do nothing about what came next.

Alonso got a fantastic run out of Spoon corner, picked up the slipstream and swooped around the outside of 130R.

A 180mph move around the outside of one of F1’s most dangerous corners is nothing to be sniffed at; it was an incredible move and a classic example of why we'll all miss Nando in 2019.
