George said he found improvement only at the very end of the gp changing his settings closer to Kimi’s
He was not running with those settings the whole time, it was only at the very end. He was finding something like .8s some laps
🗣️: “George talked after Monaco about maybe the car’s characteristics not quite suiting his driving style. Last year, McLaren maybe had a similar situation with Lando Norris and talked about bringing in a specific part to try and help Lando. Is anything like that on the agenda for you, or is it not as significant an issue with the car and George that needs addressing that way?”
Toto Wolff: “I think, George is pretty clear to trace back when it was more difficult. And that is not a car part, but it’s simply settings. In Miami, Kimi was going very well, like last year, and George felt he needed to set the car up mechanically and electronically more in Kimi’s direction, and this is what he kept because obviously Kimi was very fast. And I think it has misled him, and probably also he had to adapt his driving style, and that wasn’t translated into lap time. And he’s just recalibrated, reset, came back to what works for him, and we’ve seen that in FP1 this morning.”
