Looking at the new curbing it can see where some more time is found. Turn 1 reminds me of a typical Tilke corner too.

He does what I do in Turn 1 and I hate it and I know it can be done better - I've seen it done better but I haven't executed it yet.

He (and I) do the 3 step boogie: Braking early, then driving through, then braking again... It would be nice to brake for T1 much later, but in a straight line across the track from driver's right through the apex on drivers left back out to drivers right again. That would take you to the very edge of the track via trail braking but you'll be setup perfectly for T2. I have seen this done in front of me a few years back and the difference was several car lengths.

Example:
Red/Green is typical way through T1 - Lime/Orange is the theory.
