After rewinding this moment and watching it like 10 times, I still don't get it how Will Buxton was able to tell what's going on at that instant. The moment he said that, the right hand rear crew was actually ahead of the left crew in putting the wheel on the car. It's almost like Buxton's voice was able to foretell the incident by 2-3 seconds. What's up? Was the pit stop not translated live, so that Buxton knew in advance what was going to happen?

Where was Will Buxton standing? Maybe he could see the something the TV viewers couldn't.

Was it live or highlights? It's not unknown for the commentary track to be laid on slightly out of sync. I remember Eurosport having that problem sometimes.

Even the live feed is a bit delayed so that the commentators would have a reaction time.
