Sorry but where are these so called "new improved - while stocks last - can't put the power down without Trump winning the election - upset your grandmothers balance - remodelled kerb physics" that Codemasters have been banging on about for the last few months?
I just watched this Austria hotlap and he is climbing all over them, specifically in the first and last corner where they do appear to have some sort of the yellow baguette style raised section (albeit not the correct curbs).

Compare turn 1 with this Rosberg on board. When he hits the inside kerb he loses a huge amount of time and the rest is, as we all know, history.

Turn 1 taken at the following speed on the kerb:
F1 2016: 144 kmh
Rosberg 2016: 114 khm
As a wheel user this is really disappointing as I personally feel that many pad users fly all over the kerbs without losing time.
To quote Vettel: "Honestly, what are we doing here?"
