MihokS5 has a lot of promise if they can keep it on the circuit!

Just sounds like PR and trying to contain the situation caused by someone possibly making a mistake during the car's design phase.
Your forgetting the fact that even though they both run the same size wheels, the R18 has much larger front fenders. I think thats what Benoit was trying to say-

I was in their pits during PLM and was constantly watching the onboard camera for the number 2 car. The visibility looking forward and to the left did not seem that bad, but looking to the right was horrible
