You are correct... extremely low speed corners like hairpins... are the exception. These guys will trail brake from corner entry until they have rotated the car... usually just before the apex... then they jump on the throttle... using the aid of traction control... and accelerate to the track out position. Aero falls of rapidly as you reduce speed, so there's not much/if any, aero downforce in low speed hairpin's. Low speed corners bring out the advantage of using "lift-throttle oversteer", you accomplish car rotation without scrubbing off the speed you lose in trail braking. The margin of error when using lift throttle over-steer is very small.
;) Next year, if the FIA forces the removal of traction control, we are likely to see great improvement with some drivers, others will have their hands full... trying to keep from spinning... or they will be Dog Slow.
