Yeah, because the driver was trying to extract the fastest time from the car, not exhibit it's handling characteristics.
It's very hard to see car balance in a video, you can make the exact same car look like an understeering pig or a drift machine if you know what you're doing.
Edit: Went back and looked at my videos the last time I had a co-driver, my old man thought my car was far too loose, watch the video and he under-drove it and the car looks pretty damn neutral, my video from the same day shows me leaning into a bit of understeer, my run was about half a second faster and absolutely nothing to write home about in terms of where an STX car should be. If I only had access to one video and wasn't behind the wheel I'd make totally opposite assumptions on how to improve the car vs. what I think I need to do.
