Yes, absolutely. For a single corner, usually if you are trail braking then you are steering it less quickly then if you are not trailing, however in that series of corners, from 1-2 at THAT circuit, you trail the brakes into the apex for one and then have to come off the brakes and quickly steer it for the transition into turn 2. It was the combination of turn 1-2 that I was meaning in that sentence
