Seems almost comical when you analyse it like this. But in all seriousness, this should have been a major consideration when designing the software systems for the 2017 regulation cars. The new design with wider tyres and improved downforce means that drivers can now take previously 'brass ball' Spa corners like Eau Rouge and Pouhon with the pedal to the floor, compared to the old days. That very fact should have been allowed for in the AI algorithms. You'll have to excuse me, I just woke up here on the other side of the world and watched HAM's pole setting lap last night at Spa, and man, these cars take all those tricky corners at Spa very fast!
