The other difference is that after washing out to the side of the track after turn 15, you have to get left again to avoid the pit wall. Then after the pit wall, you move back to the outside to make the entry into turn 1, so the front straight isn't really a straight line.

Lastly, between 11 and 12 the left side of the track is very bumpy, the smooth line is to stay further to the right.
The track width on the front straight on that picture is wrong, and I haven't had the energy to change it. I'll move the 11-12 line, and I gave a little on the exit of 6.

The only thing that matters in 6-7 is exit speed from 7. if you can drift out at the exit from 6 but still be flush left, not at an angle at the turn in for 7, more power to you. As I recall, I was wanting to put my foot down at turn in while others were still getting off the brakes at the entry of 7. I think the most I had to do with open track was a slight lift before turn in.
