Formula 1 Steering Wheel Explained 

Definetly

Agree

Ye

Helps having an actual F1 driver explain it!!! Awesome explanation

Agree

Yep, Haas and Ferrari both still use that wheel

Yeah they still use the same wheel, they rarely change them. They’re been running that wheel at Ferrari & Haas since 2015 & 2016 respectively.

@@DaSpaceJammer i've been researching about steering wheels a lot lately, im sure Haas still uses the SF71H steering wheel in 2022, it is just not practical to change it when it works fine, they got to remade all the molds and tests. Didn't knew it was Kimi spec though

Kimi’s was probbably broken due to heavy use

its not broken, just the liquid on the hose always freezes on kimi.

@@xcbrr50 good one 😂

The team disabled it because they knew kimi secretly mix it with an alcohol

@@rogue5360 He only did that to keep the fluid from freezing in the line.

Can you repeat the question?

Hahaha love this,

i was literally reading that with the weird accent in my mind lol

I'm screaming 🤣🤣

🤣🤣❤️❤️bless

yeah and here i am literally not using any of them cause it will only complicate me. lol

At the pay scale these drivers are on, I would expect nothing less, honestly. They better know that thing backwards, as well as how and when to use the functions.

@@earthb67 the drivers grow up using these kinds of buttons in junior formula series, and nearly all of them aren't on any pay check, even formula 3 drivers, it's just the pinnacle of the motorsport where you see some serious paychecks that comes from the fame. So I wouldn't expect anyone in their rookie year or junior series to have "mastered" the layout as you want them to

Yeah I can't even find all the buttons playing call of duty... wheh

It’s mainly all second nature for them. They don’t really think about it. It’s like a person getting on their phone in the morning. They don’t think about it

And of course turn right on the road courses

Not funny

@@Aim____Higher cope

@@Aim____Higher I heard Amazon has some good deals on copium right now

@@Aim____Higher who?

Well tbh I think they actually build a wheel for GR leading up to that weekend most functions would stay the same as on Williams as its actually a Merc underneath.

The teams can see the switches and buttons positions, so if they have an agreement it is possible to bluff. I think the Mercedes for example got 3 buttons that does nothing on the car. The "PC" (pit confirm), the "X" and the "mark", that sets a marker in the telemetry if the driver needs to recall something at a certain point (it was widely used in 2020 preseason tests when they activated the DAS, probably cause they wanted to see in the telemetry exactly where the device was activated, the "marker" text on the dash wasn't actually activated by DAS itself). Plus they got the tyre switch, that sets the car for different thread thickness, they can use that as well, they won't be setting it for new tyres when the tyres are actually gone

I got lost once he went to the front of the steering wheel. 🤯
