Reading the comments above and seeing Michael Schumacher mentioned, I think MS could drive very well ahead of where the car was at the moment. He didn't necessarily drive faster than the car could go, but he was always ahead of the car. IOW, I'm thinking he made his input and waited for the car to do what he expected it to do. You hardly ever saw him counter steer or have a lot of reactive input to the wheel. He set it in the corner and went with it already setting up for the next corner before the car was finished with the current one.

He wasn't just looking past the corner, his mind was past the corner. He drove with his mind in the future, not the present. I'm sure others have some of that ability.

Thinking more about it, take Senna. He was in the present always wringing everything he could get out of the car. Worry about the next corner if he got through this one. Only an observation.
