We're in Spain and our picture of the day includes a McLaren-Honda, so we didn't need much of an excuse... With Pat Symonds warning F1 doesn't fully understand overtaking yet - and calling for more research to help regulations encourage close racing in future - we agree and want to see legendary battles like this one between Ayrton Senna and Nigel Mansell (with Michael Schumacher enjoying the best vantage point) in Barcelona in 1991.
