This same driver (and he is german, and beated the lap time posted by the aging Porsche test driver Walter Rohrl by quite a significant margin) complained about the overall softness of the car's suspension. I guess it is one of those cases that, when the car comes out, all press praises it, but pro racing drivers find faults on the car... and only some years later, the press criticizes those same faults. But it's understandable, after all, they are used to drive racing cars all their lives, they must be a little more nit-picking than us, average, non-professional drivers.

The Nurburgring was recently repaved in many sections shorty before that; and WR's "published" time was on a far bumpier track.
