    Was it because he had to slow down due to yellow flag or does the last corner have track limits?

      I think he aborted the lap because he was outside track limits there, but I’d have to go back to make sure.

        Yeah he made a mistake in the last corner and that in itself cost him time, plus being outside track limits

      It looked like his engineer called the yellow while it was a white flag.
