Maybe we are talking "over the obvious" here. FA has a real different corner entry technique - he uses very hard understeer on entry - very firm and direct turn in. Direct opposite of MS' classic "quiet hands" entry. Is that what you mean by abusive? His turn in style ?

There was an interesting article in F1 by Peter Windsor about this which pointed out the advantages / disadvantages of FA technique. Bottom line - the FA technique provided a bit more time to adjust (with throttle) the car's rotation and grip as it pointed to the apex. This increased his braking zone and wide open throttle time coming out of the turn.

MS has a more classic style. Both are very fast. Both are very smooth. IMHO
