A Few Notes

• This data does not include overtakes made on Lap 1 or the first lap of a standing restart.
• On track moves for position only, not counting passes made in pits, lapped cars, cars unlapping, on cars off track or spun, team orders etc…
• Overtaking data is just interesting data it does not show how entertaining the race is
• Ocon passing Bottas and Magnussen weren’t considered overtakes as they were conceding the position due to a safety car infringement.
