For a tight hairpin, the driver purposely turn in late, continuing to the outside of the bend in order to create the widest possible angle. In this way, he can treat the remainder of the operation as he would a fast corner. Indeed his intention must be as quick as possible out of the hairpin. To a certain extent, in order to achieve that, he mustn't hesitate to 'sacrifice' the entry phase by turning in somewhat sharply. As soon as the apex has been passed, the driver; who has in fact transformed the exit phase into a fast corner, can already begin to accelerate.
