Take Hockehiemring GP circuit for example. There are 2 spots were assists make you brake, yet no brakes are required. I have marked these in red. You can run these full speed. The spot marked yellow varies. In cars with great grip you can run that corner flat out. In many cars you have to brake a bit or feather the throttle a bit. But if you run assists, they will always make you brake there. I overtakes bots at these 3 corners easily with no assists, because they are always braking there. This happens on many tracks!

Because you have to brake or you will risk going off-track and losing the race once you reach the areas marked with a red circle. Also applies to the yellow circle.
