The Top 10 Overtakes of the 2023 F1 Season

He is going to try the inside. Late, late, late on the brakes and later still for Oskar Piastri. George Russell, beautiful move. Lando Norris has done it again. Alonso on the inside of Sainz, that's opportunistic. Brilliant from Alonso. Phenomenal move for fourth position for Fernando Alonso. On board, here we go. So Sainz is looking good. Gets a little bit boxed in behind his teammate. Alonso just said, wow, if you don't want the inside, I'll take it. Late on the brakes, committed. Brilliant from Alonso. Millimetres between the pair of them as they go side by side. He's not going to try around the outside, but he is going to try the inside of Turn 10. What a superb move from Fernando Alonso. Yes, let's go. Absolute top shelf from Fernando Alonso. Wow, what a sublime bit of racing action. He could put that car where he wanted it on that lap. Inside, feint, outside, right over the kerbs, get the traction. Just so much grip and confidence there. Late, late, late on the brakes and later still for Oskar Piastri, who makes the corner, who makes the place and takes third. That was brilliant. That was absolutely brilliant. To see cars weaving, desperately trying to get temperature. He's taken advantage of this very difficult restart. This is what it looks like in Sector 1. And we see Lando Norris forcing his rival off the racing line. Departs from the racetrack he doesn't want. Tries the up and under. Is it going to be another classic move? Elbows out. Lando Norris has done it again. The crowd adore it. It's another fine overtake and a great way to take fifth place. Just absolutely textbook stuff. Down the inside. Another haste. Attacking Sargent at that corner. And this time it's Magnussen. He just slides down the inside and it's close at the end. 11 out of 10 for commitment. Excellent work. Fantastic job. This is a chance for George Russell. He's right in the DRS zone. Leclerc is going to go defensive to the inside. It's always a tricky one to go around the outside, but he is putting the attack on. And now he goes around the outside into Luffield. George Russell, beautiful move. He gets past Charles Leclerc. Perfectly done. Beautiful stuff. More grip for Russell on the new medium tyres. As Leclerc saw him coming, defended the inside. Russell looked to the outside. And then I think Leclerc was so ready for the attack into Cobbs that he just waited on the apex of Luffield and George sent it all the way around the outside. Nice job, Buffalo Girls. Here goes Ocon. In behind Perez. Now he's got Fernando just behind him as well. Here's the traction race, but not on the part of the racetrack that you'd want. So you cut to the inside. Traction race once again. Esteban Ocon's car placement has been excellent for the last couple of laps. Well done. No DRS at this stage. Going to be right with him through 130R. And Hamilton going for the move on Alonso at the 130R. These two going side by side. And it's another great moment of brinkmanship. Alonso knowing there's nothing he can do to fight back. Does he risk it all in the final metres of the Grand Prix? Charles Leclerc's going for it to the inside. Has he got the car slowed down? What a move, Charles Leclerc. Absolutely brilliant. And the last real chance that he had to make the pass. What a performance. At least the second place. Three into one corner will not go. Round the outside goes Esteban Ocon. Side by side with Fernando Alonso, who's wired at this part of the circuit. And somehow they're in the same order that they left. Oh no, they're not, because here comes the Alpine. Better traction and that will be the position. Fernando Alonso refuses to give it up, but he'll have to. And Ocon moves up to eight. How was an Ocon tact? That was frantic stuff. And what frustration for Fernando Alonso. He's nearly got past Perez, and in the end he's dropped to place. That's the threat when you're going slowly behind the red bull. They're all bunched up. You lose trying to attack, and suddenly Ocon's through. It was really smart driving from Ocon and opportunistic.
