Overtake Award
The Overtake Award is presented annually by cryptocurrency platform and Formula One global sponsor Crypto.com. Though initially given for the most overtakes achieved over the season in 2021, it evolved into a monthly poll, with a final vote to determine the "best overtake of the year".
History and rules
History
The award was first given in by Crypto.com, the trophy's official sponsor, to the individual driver who made the most overtakes during the season. This was in an effort to "celebrate the bravery exhibited by drivers who make bold moves in pursuit of success", and "to celebrate drivers' instincts to make bold and strategic moves". The award was modified for the season: instead of counting the number of overtakes, fans voted for the best overtake of each Grand Prix via social media. At the end of the season there was a social media poll to determine the overall winner. For the and seasons, the award was modified so that fans may select their favourite overtake from a shortlist of the best on-track action every month of the season. At the end of the season, all winners are voted to decide the definitive on-track move of the season.Rules
According to the award rules, an overtake occurs when two racers on the same lap traverse a timing loop on a race track in a different order than when they passed through the previous one. The pass must happen on the track rather than in the pit lane. The pit lane section's length is determined by the safety car's entry and exit lines. First lap overtakes are counted and the driver's starting position serves as the race's first timing loop. A pass that the stewards deemed illegal and resulted in a sporting penalty for that racer is still counted. If a driver is disqualified from a Grand Prix, any passes they made are counted. No overtakes are recognised if the pursued driver retires or is slower than usual owing to an error when not in a duel, or if they are affected by a mechanical problem. Any position changes that occur behind the safety car or during a race stoppage are likewise not counted.Overtake Award 2021
