If you have good enough eyes to see Max alongside, you'll also need to show when Max ever showed signs of actually navigating his car ROUND the corner.
His trajectory showed him likely just under steering right off the other side of the track.
There simply was not enough space for him to realistically make the corner at the angle and speed he was approaching the apex.
Thats why he was essentially still going straight at the apex when he SHOULD ha e been rotating the car.
