What makes it stupid is that the circuit has been made mainly (a bit) faster without adjusting this goal lap time and secondly the circuit is only one of the circuits on the calendar.

Passing a car on a straight should be (driver stupidity aside) a Lot safer than passing in a corner where the tires are dealing with braking or accelerating, and cornering forces. Also visibility is more of an issue, and also driver judgement.

I was also about to point out this. Ironically, slower cars resulted in more dangerous racing.
Altough I like that they have to try to keep the momemtum in corners. Should give more emphasis to driver skill and cars should be closer to the limit more of the time.
