Confirms what everyone has been thinking. The car is a nightmare to drive for anyone not named Verstappen. Perez got a lot of shit over the last few years, but he was one of the only drivers to handle the car well.

Most relevant for me in his thoughts is the fact that the RB seems to be completely different in handling to the RBR:
"You're going from one of the cars that’s most forgiving to the trickiest. And so you're having to adapt quite a lot to two very different cars. (..) But it's not something that feels that natural to most drivers.”
