Of course if they are participating in an F1 race they're also
probably correct in thinking that!

No, but I've had very similiar experiences on a motorcycle going into
Paddock Hill bend (Brands), Redgate (Donington), and Coppice/Charlies
(Cadwell)...

        Everything Caroll's ever written is amazing (I own them all).
Many are mostly of interest to someone who races iron cars, as opposed
to silicon.  

        However, in addition to "Drive to Win", "Engineer to Win" has
a lot of interesting stuff on vehicle dynamics.   He wanted to title
his fasteners book "Screw to Win", but the publisher declined.
