Yes the front end of the RB is 'telepathic', which Max can handle. RB is able to give the front end a LOT of front grip producing faster lap times. Other drivers are not able to handle that balance of the car, due to window of grip being spikier and smaller, a window max can drive within. (If you listen to Max and Lewis talk about driving they actually chase rear grip first, but that is a different discussion)

If RB was to roll out a development to the car which saw Yuki throw it on poll and win a race with Max being 10th, they would keep that change and expect max to figure it out. It isn't a driver thing, its about what makes the fastest car.

Ps. Danny was much faster in the same car to Max than Checo
