I wonder when people will start telling Raikkonen to shut up about the power steering like they did with Jarno Trulli?
Its interesting that some of the more sensitive drivers are struggling this year (Button, Raikkonen, Senna, Rosberg). Perhaps there is a general lack of feedback from the Pirelli's or perhaps if the driver isn't getting the precise feedback he needs from the power steering its very easy to fall out of the operating window of the tyres temperature and wear-wise.

Certainly it seems to me that its not just drivers complaining for no reason. Certain drivers are genuinely struggling to find pace this year and 3 of those I've named have done more than enough to prove they are very capable otherwise.
 
I think they had a sit down some time back and Lotus told him they've got 3 different steering systems, and he can choose one of those from race to race, no more time and money is being put into developing new ones for this season.
