There are many reasons why this happens in motorsport. Often the second driver is distracted for a nano second, misses his breaking/turn in point, goes in too deep, too late, gets off line, on the dirty stuff. Bang!! When he gets back to the pits, he is often heard to say,'I HAD NOWHERE TO GO'.
However, better drivers will have their eye on the corner, preparing for a manouvre on the driver in front, or merely doing the job and watching their lines.. I believe the term you are looking for is 'Oh S**t!!'
