HugeJerksays...Was there a change to the cars or to the corner?

oritteroposays...Like the article from Ars that @Jinx linked said, the cars have been given wider tyres to get more mechanical grip, and more downforce to get more aero grip. The net result is that they are 30km/hr faster in the corners than last year.
They are also slower on the straights, since more downforce and fatter tyres both result in more drag meaning lower top speed.
Was there a change to the cars or to the corner?
