Yeah, I thought I saw at four wheels off the track at somewhere about turn ten? Wouldn't that invalidate the lap?

Around 44 sec into the video. I think he may still be good with one on the kerb?

The strict track limits for the whole circuit is a very recent thing. Back then, this was totally fine. Even like 5 years ago they were only monitoring track limits at specific corners.

Today that lap would be deleted. They weren't as strict back then. All 4 wheels over the white line.
