Thank you! I was SHOCKED when I saw Button had gotten ahead of Hulk and Alonso because it wasn't shown anywhere!
And jesus, Button completed that pass just in time. Had he tried to do the pass on Hulk on the start-finish straight, it might already have been SC time!

Definitely would've been yellows for the first corner, so yeah.

Can't believe we didnt get to see even a replay of that... Wtf

Someone needs to take all of the recorded material after a full weekend and cut a "directors cut" of each race. I would watch the fuck out of that on the weekends without races. And I would buy the whole season, every year, if they put it out as a collectors box.

So only shots of the crowd, pit crew, family members, and random celebrities? Directors love showing that stuff.

Just two hours following that girl with the dreads, and a one hour post race interview with her.
1
BBC does a highlights version, it's usually about 90 minutes and covers just the most exciting parts of the race.

Yes, thanks. But I know. It is not what I was talking about. What I would really like is a full race - might even be extended a bit to show lots of stuff going on the same time.

Damn. Alonso could have finished 4th as well if not for this mistake.
Thanks for posting the video!

Yes! Poor Hulk.
Hulk and Nando have been having some great battles on track. Austin and Korea come to mind.

Both should be in same team...

I'm not sure if Alonso is lucky or a master of controlling the uncontrollable.

I'll go with Alonso wouldn't have crashed into Perez.
15
Not been watching F1 for very long then or just got a very short memory?
1
Wat?

He's saying if you swapped Alonso in for Massa, there wouldn't had been a collision with Perez at the end.
6
Ah. Thank you.
1
Because Alonso would have magically guessed Perez came onto his line?
0
Because Alonso has a better understanding when to take risks and when not.
3
It wasnt even about risk. Perez arguably made a mistake by not being aware and suddenly veering left , but how does Massa process this event from behind Perez? he freaking veers into him.
2
Because if Jesus took over Alonso's wheel, Alonso would be off worse.

So Alonso tried to out brake Hulkenberg, Hulkenberg was defending and had to take the outside line so Button just drove through the corner carefully, nice!
6
Outbraking, I think Alonso braked like way way way too far and almost lost his car, luckily enough Hülkenberg managed to evade. We saw it a couple times over the race though.

Is there an onboard view from Button's car of this overtake? Can't find one for the life of me.
5
You're the man! Thanks for posting this

Seems like both of the Ferrari's are unstable under heavy braking. Not just Raikkonen.
4
Yep. Seems like it's causing the rear wheels to skip. This is the worst ice seen. But it's also very apparent when Kimi is braking late/hard. Has to make multiple steering adjustments to keep it stable. Besides the brakes/ers, it really seems like there is low speed aero issues.
2
That combined with trouble harvesting electricity causing instability is not a good combination if you are trying to make your drivers contend for wins.

If Hulk let Button overtake him at the exit of the pin he would have had the DRS and could've kept the 4th place during the straight.
3
He wouldn't have. The detection point is actually just after the chicane before the hairpin. http://thisisf1.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/07-canada.png

I stand corrected, thought it was just after the pin.

Dammit Fernando...

Anybody got Button's onboard of the move?
2
FOM. Good luck with that

I'm so gutted we never got to see this - I knew JB was flying as Brundle kept referring to him from time to time, but was brilliant to see he was in 4th once the safety car came out!

I was fucking pissed they did not show this.
1
I saw that, I was right at that corner in Grandstand 15, it was a great move taking advantage of their fight.
1
It was a mistake that caused him to go deep, but amazing car control after he made that mistake
1
seems like a shitty move i'd make in a formula 1 videogame to be honest, and yes, great control. i'd spin the fuck out in the game.
1
I love Ferrari's onboard camera. Looks like the 70s for some reason
1
I'd love to know the timings of the crash of Perez and Massa and this. Although, SC wouldn't have been deployed yet, and Yellow Flags would only straight after the crash be waving in the Sector where the crash happened, Button overtaking Hulkenburg must have been in real time close to the crash

About time we saw this, thanks for posting OP. Stupid TV directors switching to crowd shots and anything else with no significance.
Great opportunistic move from Button.
