      The biggest issue is that as long as you are not dangerously out of control, in other words avoid a slide or lock up, you can brake as late as you absolutely want to regardless if you are going to make the corner and just go wide. The rule needs changing that you have to be able to make the corner inside the lines otherwise this legal pushing off the track will just continue and make overtaking on a corner between two similar performing cars almost impossible.
