It would be interesting to look at the lap to lap overlays from Hamilton and Verstappen (and other drivers as well). I watched Jolyon Palmer's analysis and, while I find his analyses generally really informative, in this case I'm not completely convinced. And that's where the overlays would be useful. I have the impression that Copse is taken flatout. My traditional brain tells me that a traditional widest arc line should be close to the fastest way through it. Palmer is suggesting that Lewis was habitually apexing the corner very, very early. That's going to put him way wide on the exit. I'm curious. I see that Silverstone is a track with multiple lines through many of the corners. It would be interesting to see which drivers would choose to take which lines.
