Across fifteen drivers at one corner, the quickest solution came from the driver who arrived slowest. He carried 5.2 mph less into the corner than the coach, spent 0.60 seconds less on the brakes, reached the apex 1.3 mph faster, and left 1.5 mph faster. Entry speed you have to brake away isn't speed — it's work.
