Overtaking in F1

Martin Whitmarsh (McLaren F1 Team Principle) has said it best:

“I don’t think overtaking is an important as some people think it is. It has become a bit of an obsession. To be honest, some people with a lack of creativity have jumped on the bandwagon and are saying that is what we need to do.

“I think what people want is uncertainty of outcome. Going into the race weekend up until Saturday, you want uncertainty about the outcome of qualifying. And then, regardless of the outcome of qualifying, you want that uncertain outcome for the race which causes you to want to watch it.”

Could not agree with him more.
