In the qualifying race, during a flying lap, Senna's car nose hit the wall. After returning to the pit, he reported to the team that it wasn't his handling error but that the circuit barrier wall "hit" him, and applied for an investigation by the event organizers.
If anyone else said this, people would think this guy is really good at making excuses.
Damn, hitting the wall while driving is one thing, but coming up with such an absurd excuse!
But this person is the historically talented driver Senna, and he repeatedly emphasized to the team that he went through the same turn in the previous lap without hitting the wall, his handling was flawless, and the line was absolutely identical.
With this doubt in mind, the team applied to the FIA for an investigation, with the event staff conducting on-site measurements and watching the footage.
