Regardless of the line type, good to know the track and have a plan at the end of the straights if you lose brakes.
Looks like he tried to downshift to bleed off speed but made the decision to square up the front for impact into the deep tire wall maybe due to the car in front or not wanting to risk a lateral impact on a less protected area of the wall if he tried to turn and scrub off speed.
He definitely aborted the turn in and went back to the left to square it up. Bravo...
