Disclaimer
==========
For the purposes of this analysis, I only count what I call "genuine"
passing manoeuvres, which means that I always exclude:
a) any place changes made during pit stops
b) lapping/unlapping manoeuvres
c) anything 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.
Note: 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 - in this way I try to keep the numbers
as consistent as possible.
These are the passes that I read for the 2002 Belgian GP:
Lap Place Passer (Passed)
=================================
2 3 Montoya (Räikkönen)
5 15 Massa (Heidfeld) [team-mates]
8 13 Villeneuve (Fisichella)
8 14 Massa (Fisichella)
14 11 Villeneuve (McNish)
That's 5 passes, compared to 8 last year.
Most: 2 Villeneuve & Massa

I'm sure there must be several errors or omissions above for which I
take full responsibility. Kudos to anyone for pointing them out. I will
correct any errors after the next race.
