Default Herta IndyCar onboard, slicks in mixed conditions

One of the more remarkable onboards I've seen in some time. Absolute limit in mixed conditions. This ended up a race winning drive for him.

Fun really starts at 3:45 after exiting pits on slicks.

Watched the race live and saw a bit of the onboard but the TV feed doesn't say on for long. At 4:15 of the OP's video, he locks up his front right 3 times before the massive hand movements and saves -- just an incredible display of skill in tricky conditions.

I liked his commitment to that first big braking zone after switching to slicks with no tentativeness at all.
