The car in front cannot activate unless he too is behind a car by one second or less.

It is meant to increase overtaking at the front.
That's not the overtake button he's referring to Dana.

If you listen to the Turkey radio action before Vettel hit Webber. You can hear his race engineer say "Use the overtake button if you need to".

It might be button gives them a little more rev range to pass or a bit of power on the fly.

Interesting.

But I don't know if that button is has the "one second behind or less" rule attached to it.

Does it?

Wow, I thought I was the only one that watched that POS.(Driven) After driving F3000 and having a Ruf Turbo in Chicago, I thought "not really happening" Looks cool though, and I always like Stallone.
