...How next year's rule changes are set to banish Barcelona boredom
The Spanish Grand Prix featured two overtaking moves. The first came on lap 55, when the out-of-position Nick Heidfeld got by the much slower Force India of Giancarlo Fisichella after many laps of trying. The other when the recovering David Coulthard made a successful move on Takuma Sato's Super Aguri. For the rest of the time we watched the field locked in stalemate.
The Circuit de Catalunya has never lent itself to passing, especially so in recent years when the upper body addenda have given F1 cars their turbulent wake that destroys any chance of getting close enough to slipstream the car ahead. But Sunday represented an especially dire situation.
