It was first awarded in {{F1|2021}} by Crypto.com, the trophy's official sponsor, to the individual driver who made the most overtakes during the season. The award was modified for the {{F1|2022}} 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.{{Cite web|title=Introducing the new Crypto.com Overtake King Award|url=https://www.formula1.com/en/latest/article.f1-crypto-com-overtake-king-award-2022.0DQHGD0RAiQSjZONFuomv.html|access-date=29 March 2022|website=Formula1.com}} For the {{F1|2023}} and {{F1|2024}} 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.

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.{{cite web |last=Mitchell-Malm |first=Scott |date=25 August 2021 |title=What will and won't count as an overtake for F1's new award |url=https://www.the-race.com/formula-1/what-will-and-wont-count-as-an-overtake-for-f1s-new-award/ |access-date=18 February 2024 |work=The Race}} 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.{{cite web |last=Collantine |first=Keith |date=25 August 2021 |title=How F1 calculated Vettel is leading the chase for its new Overtake Award |url=https://www.racefans.net/2021/08/25/how-f1-calculated-vettel-is-leading-the-chase-for-its-new-overtake-award/ |access-date=18 February 2024 |work=RaceFans}} 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.{{cite web |last=Horton |first=Phillip |date=24 August 2021 |title=How F1 will count passes for new-for-2021 Overtake Award |url=https://www.motorsportweek.com/2021/08/24/how-f1-will-count-passes-for-new-for-2021-overtake-award/ |access-date=18 February 2024 |work=Motorsport Week}}
