Kimi needs more sensitive steering
HEIKKI KULTA, translation by Warwick.
Kimi Räikkönen’s problems are of course a subject of discussion in Ferrari, because everyone admits that the Finn is the most important part of the team.
“The car’s sliding front is not as big of an issue for Massa as it is for Raikkonen. Massa likes it more, when it slides.” Mario Almondo said in Auto Sprint.
“In Bahrain the oversteer stopped at the first pitstop, when we changed Felipe’s front wing’s angles. After that the car worked as he wanted.”
“Kimi wants a car that has more front end grip than rear end grip, which generates an oversteer feeling for the driver, while Felipe is much the opposite. We must make the car to behave more accurately for Kimi. Kimi wants a more sensitive car, which responds well to his steering.” -said Almondo.
Almondo also revealed that on the grid at Bahrain Räikkönen had problems with the start button. The driver pushes the button and the software takes care of the rest.
