Just viewing that alone will tell you about all you need to know to figure out how to go faster.
GPS track maps are OK for generally understanding where the car is located on the track, but they lack the granularity and perspective of a video, which is why I much prefer to see a lap from a video perspective where it will be clearer where the car is on the track and how well they're hitting the brake, turn-in, apex, and track out points. This is especially helpful in lead/follow as in-car videos tend to be too high to give a precise view of the cars track position at the limit (and misses all the action behind like brake lockup and squirm.
