Cars should have more downforce in high speed corners

But in Silverstone and Spa (specifically at Copse and Pouhon corners) I've noticed drivers taking the high speed corners pretty much flat-out. Just look at Sainz pole lap in Belgium with a tiny little lift (not even tapping the brakes) at 300kmp/h). Also, Verstappen fastest lap in Belgium was faster then the 110% AI. The cars need to get better at high speeds.

Are you saying that you can't take these corners in the same way in F1 22? If so this may well be setup related...

    @Ultrasonic_77 I run low downforce and I assumed most people did. The fast corners require very little steering angle. So a soft suspension setup for kerbs. Added front camber to help turn in and grip in the high speed Corners then it’s just about finding the optimal deceleration point before your turning point to be silky smooth And precise with steering angle you can stamp back on the power and accelerate through multiple corners at spa: One off those tracks where you set speed for first corner to be fast through the following.

    Spa has always been my best and favourite circuit ever since Grand Prix 1 days
