Sometimes it's quicker to bounce off the rev-limiter than it is to up-shift.
If you calculate the upshift time, then the immediate downshift, it's often better to stay in gear if the turn is coming up..

And that doesn't even include the potential errors, miss shifts, bad heel n Toe, missed rev's, etc. that you can possibly have by trying to cycle gears too quickly.

My point is, yes, I did cringe when seeing the driver bounce off the fun limiter but I also understood his technique and thought it was probably the fastest way around the track, despite being bounced for what seemed to be a few seconds.
