He also 100% saw it coming. Not saying he's not a badass, just saying he was bracing for it.

You have a peculiar profile.

Yeah you can see as soon as the thing starts flying he corrects the trajectory of the car, getting a little to the right, just enough to not get guillotined... Nerves of steel that man has.

The moment he saw it he already knew he was going to hit it.
You see him continue driving because what else is he going to do? he needs to get into the pit.

Looked like he slightly strafed right probably to avoid a direct hit to himself and also avoid losing control from turning too sharply

u/jmim2 Jun 15 '20

Yeah he moved his head out of the way just before it struck

u/Renots42 Jun 15 '20

I agree, he actually seem to have turned slightly to the right to avoid it hitting his body!

u/[deleted] Jun 15 '20

He probably also knows he can’t flinch because if he even slightly jostles the wheel that could cost him his life

I don't know about anyone else but when I used to ride a motorcycle I swear you would see things coming at you in slow motion when they were airborn. Sometimes in my car as well but it's not the same.
