It was lodged in the turning vanes area of the bargeboard. He said after
the race that did see it as he rounded the corner and avoided it with
the tyres, that running over it with the centre of the car was all he
could do without going off-track.
One of the things that people don't understand about driving at the
limit is that you ARE at the limit. And that at certain times, it isn't possible for a driver to change the trajectory of his car very much or sometimes at all.
With the GP only available to me live on Sunday (4:10am), I haven't seen
the incident yet, so I can't give any opinion about this particular
case, but can anyone tell me whether this happened between the beginning
of the braking zone and the point of maximum cornering (which usually
occurs just before the car reaches the apex) or during the latter half
of the corner (between maximum cornering and track out)?
In the first half of the corner, you're more committed to line you've
chosen than during the second half, when you still decide how much
throttle to apply (and thus can vary how much grip you have left over
for lateral movement).
