The OP reminds me of Niki Lauda, who often times rolled up the field from far behind, noone could keep him from pushing to the lead position.

I had the honor of seeing Niki Lauda race F1 at Watkins Glen. Also there was Hans Stuck, Mario Andretti and Emerson Fittipaldi. James Hunt won the race.

That's a great tribute to Niki Lauda!

The other interesting thing about that F1 race I attended at Watkins Glen. I got to see the 6 wheel Tyrrells in action. Ken Tyrrell was quite an interesting fellow.

I heard of Tyrell, but never of a 6-wheel Tyrell. I wonder what the advantage would be?
