Ah, what a great day: At the front, Jenson began to close on Michael Schumacher during the second stint of the race and by lap 30 he was on the Ferrari’s gearbox. Over the next 15 laps, he tried to force the seven-time world champion into a mistake, and on lap 45 it happened: Jenson pulled a masterful overtaking manoeuvre into the hairpin [source] [larger image]

UPDATE 27 July: I wish I had time to write, but for now I will just quote, ‘The Lucky Strike B.A.R Honda team heads east to Budapest for this weekend’s Hungarian Grand Prix, hoping to repeat the podium finish achieved in Germany’ [source]

On this day…
