Three places to look first
Biggest braking event
Turn 7: 131.5 → 95.5 km/h over 57.0 m. Brake-point consistency here is worth more than anywhere else on the lap.
Commitment corner
Turn 4: reference minimum 151.0 km/h. Fast corners punish hesitation — min-speed spread here is the classic amateur time leak.
Slowest corner
Turn 10: 79.7 km/h minimum. Exit drive from here sets the following straight — spread on the exit costs the whole next sector.
