I think we can all agree that Vettel is an extremely great driver, but when it comes to that 180 that he pulled to save time and get back to the race, how often do you see drivers recover that quickly after going off-track? Is it something that only really skilled drivers can pull off?

Doing the 180 itself isn’t hard for an F1 driver, but what made Vettel’s impressive is how quickly he decided to do it. As soon as he went in deep he must have gone “okay, can’t make the corner, switch to plan B”.

Normally we see it in Practice or Qualifying where drivers aren’t in a rush to get back on the track, but as Vettel’s happened in the race he needed to spin round immediately to not lose time and positions.
