If you read my posts about Albert Park, you know that I initially prioritize corners based on speed and distance from the exit of the corner to the next corner. I do this because it is hard to regain lost speed the faster you are going. 15 MPH lost on a 2nd gear corner is much easier to regain than 15 MPH lost on a 5th gear corner.

This is my priority for hotlapping based on the initial AI analysis. 

For hotlapping, my first priority is turns seven and eight which are taken almost as one large hairpin. In racing, I've found that as long as you can keep from getting passed on this corner, you are doing OK. There's little passing opporunity in this corner but getting it correct can get you up into sixth gear on the straight that follows. Doing a poor job will keep you in fifth and cost you some time.

My next set of corners are five and six along the back straight. Just like with seven and eight above, as long as you are fast enough to defend your position, the corners aren't as important in racing. The turn-in for corner six is tricky because it is fairly blind. If you are not exiting corner five correctly, it makes it difficult to guage your turn-in for six. I've also found that if I mess up turn four, it often carries all the way through turns five and six and I have a poor run through this corridor.

Corner 12 is tricky and has taken me some time to get correct. It's faster than it looks/feels but too much time on the curbing at entry can put you in the gravel.

After driving the circuit for a few laps, I'd put corner 14 a bit higher priority. It is fairly high-speed and getting the corner correct can help with passing on the straights that follow.
