MTV3 reporter Mika Salo considers Kimis actions about demanding the steering changes is completely right thing to do.

The steering of the Lotus car hasnt been quite there as Räikkönen has wished. The latest time Kimi demanded changes to his steering was at the first practise of Monaco gp.Sky Sport was stirring the pot at the beginning of this week as they claimed on their site Lotus employees are already thingking Räikkönen should just adapt to the steering Lotus has.

-Ofcourse Kimi have to demand the changes so he gets the feeling to his car he needs.You cant drive on the limit otherwise.
Its perfectly normal for driver to demand the changes to his car from the team. Big teams are capable to make a totally new car if needed even in the middle of the season but Lotus cant do it. Salo says.

Salo reminds Kimi wasnt able to influence to this years cars desing in any way because he came to the team for this season.
-Current car has been constructed by the feedback of last seasons drivers, Petrov and Senna. There hasnt been influence of Kimi what so ever. The more Kimi demands the changes the more the team understands the issue and make changes to next years car at least.Salo says.
Salo knows by the experience of his own how drivers have to drive the car the previous drivers have developed.
-When Kimi came to Sauber he had to drive the car I had developed. And when I went to Sauber , it was a dreadfull car to drive as Alesi had three pedals because he didnt want to brake with the left foot. Salo recalls.
