In which case Trulli and Kovalinen are amazing drivers! If they have been keeping such a car on the track all this time, its pretty amazing. And therefore highly unlikely that its such a major issue that the Lotus is difficult to control.
Both Trulli and Kovalainen have stated the T128 is a vast improvement on last year and is even easier to drive. Trulli's issue with the power steering refers to his very sensitive feel for the car that helps him drive those super-quick laps. Its nothing to do with the car being difficult to keep on the track. Its more to do with it giving him odd sensations that he isn't used to and it makes it difficult to really feel the car on the edge. Think of it like Button's super-sensitive speed too. He turns the car into a corner and expects to feel certain sensations through the steering wheel to let him know when the tyres are losing grip, when the back-end is starting to step out, etc. But currently he is finding it gives false sensations or makes it difficult to really get a read on the car's behaviour.
Kovalainen seems happy to ignore and/or deal with the power steering's deficencies so has no problem finding the limit, like Hamilton.
Peter, what do you not understand about the words "power steering feedback". They don't necessarily refer to being able to steer properly, as I have explained to you before.
