In last couple of days I think about the influence of Lewis to the new car - MP4-25, and how it suits Janson`s style?
I read an interview with Lewis, where he talks about the development of MP4-24, and how he understands what was wrong with the car (not until the race in Barcelona) and give to engineers concrete information, witch took to the Nurburgring upgrade. After that Lewis alone, was responsible for a single part of the car, that helps the team to be very competitive in the last couple of races, after Spa. He made a joke, that he nearly autograph that part, but the point is - if Lewis made so strong input on the MP4-25, how it suits to Janson? Is it really driving style so important, and how could Janson cope with that, because we all know, that both of McLaren drivers has different styles?
I never saw that, how interesting, do you remember where you saw it?
On the car suiting each driver, I feel sure it will be OK for Jense, but if (for example) they can make it faster at the expense of some stability then they will, knowing Lewis can drive it while Jense will have to detune it a bit. Just guessing of course, what mean is that Lewis will be their main focus - as he's made sure of already - if they're considering the driver at all, but Jense will be 'included'. Jense arrived too late to affect the basic design anyway, of course, but they'll be using him in the simulator to make sure the setup window covers what he needs.
