22 cars x 57 laps =1254 times this corner was taken (not accounting for the DNFs) and only two mistakes there and those by the driver under the most pressure?

Seem strange?

Hamilton locked up there too. He chose to lock the tyres and risk a flat spot rather than losing time by leaving the track, but then he only had a few laps left. Nico's incidents were much earlier in the race and he needed to look after his tyres more.

But locking up is still a mistake is it not?
