Bit it was not to be. Pounding through Clearways, Chapman tried to grab top gear, only to find that there was nothing there (?absolutely nothing,? he said, ?not a gear of any sort?) and Brabham scrambled past on the outside, having lost only a couple of seconds in the excitement.

Chapman was no slouch behind the wheel, passing a world champion is no mean feat.
And I'll bet the post race chat was somewhat more friendly than vattel's and webber's tonight after Malaysian gp!
