What happened: Both Racing Bulls drivers complained that they do not have enough steering lock for the Monaco hairpin, according to Chris Medland. The complaints came despite upgrades to that area of the car, along with updates across much of the package.

Why it matters: Monaco puts unusual stress on low-speed rotation, and the hairpin is one of the clearest tests of whether a car can make the tightest corners cleanly. If the issue persists, Racing Bulls could face setup compromises at a circuit where track position and precision carry extra weight.

What to watch: Watch whether Racing Bulls adjusts the setup before later Monaco sessions. Driver feedback through the hairpin will show whether the upgrade can be tuned into a workable window.
