The run down the hill that follows the uphill section after turn one is truly frightening at speed. There are two distinct lines through that down hill section. One is the easier typical multi-apex line that everyone else is taking, and the other is 180 degrees opposite. (Where they apex you go outside and where they go wide you go inside). All the while the track is falling away from you to the outside and you are scratching for grip. You just hope that at the bottom there is nobody to your left so that you can use the right hand turn at the bottom as a braking zone. (see what I mean at 6:36)

It is the section at 0:48 to 0:58 on the video and again at 2:41 to 2:52 where you can really see him taking the opposing line. Watch the wheel. I think his line through there at that speed on lap two is best described as controlled falling. Wow!
