This was my initial reaction. We're taught and teach that if you put wheels off, DON'T immediately pull back on the track but
SLOW DOWN, regain control (ie straighten out the wheel), and then re-enter the track with all 4 wheels. Proceed at a reduced speed and off the race line to the hot pit for an inspection. Pulling back onto the track at speed can result in uneven traction per side and wild results, esp if the track is narrow at that point or if you're in traffic.
Not trying to pile on, just discuss a teachable moment. Immediately pulling back on track is the natural instinct but if we engrain the better maneuver in our brains before it happens, we'll have a higher percentage chance of remembering it when the situation arises. Things happen quickly on the track and instincts take over.
Thanks for posting the video for discussion. We can all learn from it.
