Yes, but this isn't oversteer Morini, you can quite clearly see it's not oversteer from the onboards. It's not a "loose" rear either, it literally steps out. I think the pundits who think Merc have mastered simulated rear wheel steering are right, I even said Lewis likes a pointy car more than most, and possibly more than Max, but this Mercedes is something very different, its rotation is weird, it's not a midpoint rotation, watching it through the swimming pool in Monaco and the final chicane in Barcelona it has a unique characteristic, the front end remains fully engaged at and past the apex the the rear literally steps out and the rotation is from the rear. It's not a slide. It just glides round and shoots off in a straight line. To be honest in China I started to notice this weird rotation, but in Spain it was glaring, it's completely controlled and the change of direction is startling, it looks majestic round Monaco though.
