Rosberg came from so far back and braked so late, it was surely inevitable that he was going to overshoot the corner by a large margin. Clearly he was never going to get anywhere near the normal apex. Especially after Max made that late defensive move to the right, forcing Rosberg to enter the corner on an even tighter line than he intendeded.
