The turn into the corkscrew at Laguna had many drivers struggle with tire traction, even the champion, Alex Zanardi. He didn't do this very often, though. He's too good to fry up his tires with such needless locks. In this case he obviously got a little too deep into the turn, because at this angle the apex is right next to the curbing on the right (and that's why I missed part of the car - but the smoke balances the composition). Backlight rules for smoke!
