I think Austrlalia said it all about Montoya and M.Schumacher. Montoya's pass of Schumacher was brutal. When I first watched it I thought "Hot damn, he's got big balls". Michaels pass of Montoya was completely different. It was calculated, smooth, and graceful. Montoya had little choice. He went wide to block the inside of the next corner. A good move really. But Schumacher braked early, thus got on the gas sooner and beat him on the outside accelerating out of the corner.
Two different styles, both exciting to watch.
Certain camera angles give you a good idea of different styles and ability. A good one is when the cars are coming toward the camera and turn sharply. Both Schumachers turn very suddenly. Some drivers like Barrichello gradually turn in. Sometimes M.Schumacher will give it a very, very quick flick the opposite direction of the turn, right before turn-in. I presume this is to load the suspension.
