Ok, so it's well known that Kimi isn't exactly the most helpful driver when it comes to giving feedback to engineers (are you really that surprised?) . Yet Kimi himself is incredibly reliant on steering feedback, to the point were Lotus had to develop a new power steering system to use in Monaco (which requires a fairly large steering ratio that in turn lesses feedback).

Needless to say they abandoned it after one practice as Kimi called it undrivable. Anyway, I swear their's a metaphor in their somewhere, someone just needs to find it.

It's funny, Domenicali said that's why they originally hired Alonso. Now he's claiming Kimi is better at giving feedback on the chassis.
