Did Loyet misjudge what was going to happen, well yes but so has everyone who has grasped the wheel of a car.
Good post. RR making contact with LF means most of Loyet's car (including what he could see in his vision) made him think he made the pass for the lead. It's the RF making contact with a LF slider than looks bad. What about my thought of a car in the lead running the bottom around the last 2 turns to protect the bottom from a slider?
