Some of the Chicane problems were due to Lizard Oil. However McNish has crashed twice in the last two events trying to undercut GT traffic. No oil for those crashes. Maybe it's not Dindo who should be retiring.

The first chicane is well know for these issues later on in the race ie. marbles, gravel and oil. These drivers have enormous experience--and would have been briefed by a team with the largest resources in the race. Simple folly on their behalf. I do, however, have more empathy for Nishi.
As for the DW, there is no excuse. Given the Toyota's Hybrid system, he could have waited one more corner--where he could see properly.
