Not at all, catching is one thing, passing is another altogether! The McLarens wouldn't have got past without a mistake from one of the Renos.

Think about it, if the were to pull Fisi in to stop him slowing Alonso down then Alonso pull away from the McLarens and win, then Alonso had as much (or more of a) chance of overtaking Fisi in a racing move as the McLarens would have of overtaking the Renaults!
