The most important part of the finish is the car is under control, whether
it's in a straight line or in a corner. It is more fun to finish with the
pedal to the metal, but when there's no room for that, well, you've got to
slow down. Safety is most important, corner or straight. Once you cross the
finish line, moreover, 'making' the corner shouldn't have been a problem
because the competition is over, and it was time to go slow...
