Agreed. I remember this very well, and the more I see it the more I think it was a dishonest pass.

A ballsy move, yes, but it would only have been a brilliant move if he'd stayed on the track.

Still, Zanardi is clearly a racer and you have to give him credit for even trying to pass there. I guess in his mind it was "If I pull it off, it's good. If I stuff it up, who cares". I wonder whether he even thought he could keep it on the track? Much as I hate penalties deciding the outcome of a race, this is an instance where I think it's justified.
