Below are the statistics for number of overtakes in 2012. As you can see, Vettel leads all the categories. When you combine this with the fact that he was driving the 2nd fastest car this season [McLaren were the fastest - see here: http://www.f1fanatic.co.uk/2012/12/03/2012-f1-car-performance/ (credit to Markus Neumann for originally posting that)], these statistics are even more impressive. So what does everyone think? Do you still think Vettel can't overtake?
