Nominate the best pass or passes from the Japanese Grand Prix for our 2015 Pass of the Year poll.

Regular readers will know how the formula works: after every race we have a dedicated thread for you to nominate the best pass or passes. And at the end of the year the nominations are compiled and a list of the top ten created for everyone to vote on.

Nominate the best overtaking moves from the Japanese Grand Prix below. Please include as much details as possible – make sure to at least point out which driver passed which other driver or drivers – so your nomination can be counted.

Make nominations from this year’s earlier races:

Rosberg’s overtake on Bottas was great, very ballsy move – a bit un-Rosberg-like.

[PorscheF1]

Rosberg his move was a desperate outbraking attemt that had a pretty high crash possibility written all over it. Grosjean on Ericcson in Degner 1 for me.

[jaapgrolleman]

Nasr and Verstappen, side-by-side on Button. Very reminiscent of Schumacher and Hakkinen on Zonta at Spa.

[Strontium]

Rossi on Stevens, not sure what lap, it was at 130R. Stevens had spun and was regaining control, how Rossi avoided smashing into him is a complete mystery, so I’d say that’s worthy of a mention.

[glynh]

Rosberg on bottas for me. A nice overtake and impressive that he didn’t wait for the next corner with Drs

[Bleu]

I prefer moves which are done in the places where there is not much overtaking, so I choose Grosjean on Ericsson into Degner.

[Lawrence]

If Bernie had let us watch it, I guess Lewis Hamilton’s pass of Nico Whineberg straight from the start would have been easily voted as both the best – and most important – pass of the day.
It had most impact on the likely outcome of World Championship and confirms Rosberg as, at best, Merc’s number two
driver.
