Ask yourself this...would he have tried to carry more speed in T23 on that final lap if the Garmin coach had not been talking in his ear suggesting it every other preceding lap?
As for "hanging on to the green", the best strategy there is to NOT do something risky for the rest of the lap. You've already done something quicker early in the lap, so hanging on just means maintaining status quo for the duration.
Oh probably not, but like I said he had to have done it before and it didn't tell him that lap. What if he was reviewing trace data from an AIM and the data says he has a couple more mph in that corner. He goes out and tries to do it and bins the car? Is that the fault of the AIM or the driver? The driver is always responsible to drive within limits no matter what their data aides are telling them. Unless it was suggesting something he hadn't successfully accomplished before, I don't think blaming the AI is appropriate.
