The first table compares the 2008 team/driver combination with the equivalent 2009
team/driver - the same driver if possible, otherwise the 2008 driver is compared to
his 2009 replacement. This comparison is intended as a team comparison, but the first
(driver) table is also of some interest - but should be read with care.
Notes
Honda have been renamed Brawn-Mercedes and Force India have switched to
from Ferrari to Mercedes engines.

periods and the race) compare to the best lap of the weekend in 2008?
Here are two tables - one compares driver with driver; easy enough if the same
driver remains in the same team. If not we compare the 2008 driver with the guy
who replaced him.
Note: Honda has morphed into Brawn-Mercedes, while Force India have switched
from Ferrari to Mercedes power.
'S' is the session when the best lap was achieved (P1/P2/P3/Q1/Q2/Q3/R)
'Lps' are the total laps in all sessions
'Diff' is the gain/loss in seconds
'%Diff' is the difference in time as a percentage of the 2008 time
Negative Diff/%Diff mean that the driver/team improved. Positive means they
got worse.
There can be several reasons for the variations seen.
Apologies if the tables wrap - save it and reformat if you are interested.

Notes
=====
This week seven drivers failed to improve on 2008 times, both Ferraris, Piquet,
and Heidfeld joining the McLarens and Buemi who were in the same position at
Melbourne.
The second table takes the best lap time from both drivers in each team and compares
with the equivalent team last season. Probably a better comparison.

Brawn maintain their position with the same 1.4s improvement that they showed in
Australia. And once again Red Bull, Williams & Toyota made significant gains.
Ferrari join McLaren as the two who failed to improve.

Hi Stefan, that's a complaint I've had before - I'll try and remember.
Brian Lawrence
============================
2009 is the 12th season that I have posted these amateur overtaking
analyses. My intention was to allow easier comparisons between Grands
Prix, seasons, circuits, drivers, etc.
In order to make any meaningful and/or useful observations it is essential
to produce the stats in as consistent a way as possible. To do this I have
devised several "rules" that I try to follow for each event. Please note
before posting to complain that I missed an obvious passing manoeuvre that
it has probably been excluded because of one of my "rules". The rules are
outlined in the "Disclaimer" below - please read it.
This analysis was mainly derived from the official FIA lap chart, which is
usually available from www.fia.com, http://forix.autosport.com or
www.autosport.com/f1/ on race day or the following day. The original charts
remain copyright of the FIA.
Other excellent Formula One websites are available. This analysis is
completely and totally unofficial.
Disclaimer
==========
For the purposes of this analysis, I only count what I will term "genuine"
passing manoeuvres, which means that I always exclude:
a) any place changes made during pit stops
b) all lapping or unlapping manoeuvres
c) any place changes made during the first lap
Hopefully, a) & b) are obvious. c) is because although lap one is often the
best opportunity to make up places, it is also not typical of the rest of
the race, and so, for the purpose of comparing races with other races and
seasons with other seasons, it is simpler to exclude lap one completely. I
do summarise the changes on lap one later in the post.
For the purposes of this analysis a "pit stop" encompasses the slowing down
lap and the out lap, since any passes during those laps MIGHT be due to the
driver slowing down or speeding up.
Passes are not counted in these stats UNLESS the gained position is held
until the start/finish line is next crossed and so gets recorded onto the
lap chart. I try to ignore anything that isn't recorded in the lap chart,
even if it was seen on TV.
These are the passes I read for the 2009 Malaysian GP:
Lap Place Passer (Passed) KERS
==========================================
4 4 Barrichello (Alonso) -/K
4 10 Vettel (Hamilton) -/K
5 16 Sutil (Fisichella) -/- [team-mates]
9 9 Vettel (Heidfeld) -/K
9 10 Hamilton (Heidfeld) K/K
11 5 Räikkönen (Alonso) K/K
12 6 Webber (Alonso) -/K
21 14 Buemi (Räikkönen) -/K
24 9 Glock (Piquet) -/K

25 8 Glock (Massa) -/K

26 6 Glock (Heidfeld) -/K
26 12 Alonso (Nakajima) K/-
27 2 Barrichello (Trulli) -/-
28 2 Glock (Webber) -/-
That's 17 passes in total, compared to 11 in 2008, however, 10 of
those came after the rain began, five by Glock who was about the
only driver on the correct tyre.
Most: Glock 5
The Last 10 Seasons
===================
To save space I have removed the columns for 1997-98 from this table. I
have included the data from those seasons in the Total & Avg. columns.
The number of passes for each GP in 1997-98 is summarised after the
main table.

Note: In 1997-98 the Luxembourg GP [LUX] was held at the Nürburgring, and is
considered as equivalent to the European GP (1999-2007) - Europe-2. Europe-3
is the Valencia venue. The 1997 European GP took place at Jerez (Europe-1),
and is a one-off event in the era covered by this table.

Note: The number in brackets (ASP) is the average starting position in 2009
(grid position after any penalties have been applied).
Obviously, a driver who often starts from pole position has very little chance
to gain places while one who usually starts at the back of the grid has a good
chance of gaining places.
Most Passes 1998-2009
=====================
Using only the data from my statistics these are all drivers who have achieved
50 or more passes.

154 M Schumacher
154 R Schumacher
146 D Coulthard
126 J Button *

53 R Kubica *
50 M Salo
50 N Rosberg *
* Current drivers
Two other drivers who didn't quite make the cut - Mika Häkkinen & Pedro de la Rosa
(both 49).
Last week I overlooked the fact that Kubica and Rosberg had passed 50 in Brazil.
Other current drivers:
46 L Hamilton
41 H Kovalainen
28 A Sutil
20 T Glock
20 S Vettel
17 K Nakajima
12 N Piquet
8 S Bourdais
1 S Buemi
It's not unusual for me to make an occasional mistake or to omit something in
the above. I do, of course, take full responsibility for any errors. I would
be grateful to anyone for pointing them out, and will incorporate any
corrections in later posts.

Sieht aus als wäre KERS nicht so hilfreich beim Überholen.
