Yeah i think it is because in karting, due to the caster and camber and the way the stub axle are designed, when u turn the wheel, you are in essence lifting the front of the kart. If you sit in the kart on the ground and turn full lock the font moves around up and down. In F1 the “stubs” if you like are horizontal to the chassis.

Plus in karting, the wheels are smaller so it is much harder to control the front wheels when riding the curbs as the wheels literally fall into every groove instead of ride over easily like F1!

Maybe its because he actually managed to keep the kart on the road for the whole race whereas in F1 he is/was done after a few laps!:P

Of course they are but I dunno if Nelsinho is the right driver to listen to!
