Alwaysfirst should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
Since when have you needed a lot of downforce (comparatively) for a circuit with many fast corners. At the old Hockenheim there were looooong straights but most of the corners were very slow. Cars still ran with very low downforce. It doesn't really matter about what speed the corners are, concerning set up. What does make the difference is how much time the car would loose on the straights. Therefore a very high downforce circuit will have very few fast corners eg Monaco, Hungaroring.
