Again I would question that.
OK take two tracks, Monza and Mangy-Cours. Now Monza requires extreme low downforce wheras France requires medium/higher downforce.
If two cars are following one another they will find it much harder to follow at Mangy Cours, as the wing level is much higher.
Estoril corner at Mangy Cours and the Parabolica at Monza are similar - ish corners, both are high speed, but the drivers always comment how difficult it is to follow through that very corner. Its the same with the final turn at Barcelona, too much wing is being run. Cars find it much easier to follow through the Parabolica than Estoril corner as the hole in the air is smaller.
