It also means, that's a poor corner design, especially for a turn that's supposed to be a major overtaking zone.

I believe that turn 1 is in a slightly different place, but pretty much like it was back when the world was largely care free and men were real men...
The two wide round corners thing is rare. Overtaking is mainly under braking, probably finishing a move that actually started with a better exit from the previous. Always has been.
I actually think some of these crap modern tracks have provided more two wide through a sequence of corners than we've seen before. And I'm thinking Bahrain and others! Including COTA where that was helped by a pragmatic and not strict approach to track limits.
