"We are dealing with the concept of a large driver area," Wolff said. "Of course it's one of the most important things."
"It's about where the driver has the best feelings in the car. Lewis made him very clear. And when world champions seven times have opinions, it is important to listen to it. "

When you drive a car, you feel like sitting on the front wheels, which is one of the worst feelings when driving."If you go home on a bicycle right under your feet, you will not be happy when approaching the roundabout.
"It really changes the attitude of the car and the way you see it moves. And that makes predictions more difficult than if you are further and more centralized."
Jenson Button analyzes Sky problems:"With Lewis, he was quite aggressive in the gas, quite aggressive in the brakes and he did everything with the steering wheel, so he really had to feel what was happening behind the car. His hand. "And he didn't understand that, so he was not confident to push the car.
"And these cars are complicated, they are always nervous, especially during qualifications. And if he does not have that confidence, he will not do his best."
Karun Chandhok added. "And that's the real point, no, because there is a contact point with the ground through all four wheels, so if you don't feel the rear wheel axle. If he thinks he is more advanced, and he can, I use it, I don't feel it. That might make him insecure when he entered [corner].
