Formula 1 steering wheel explained

[F1 fan]

Seriously awesome!!

Maybe you should take the hit and goto Spa as your last chance!!

C.

I might just do that... It would only cost a few hundred more in petrol... Trying to convince my friends to go as a "goodbye" road trip.

As it happens, although I'm going to vancouver, my holidays will always involve racing. My mum's going to retire in france... Conveniently close to le mans... Might just go to see her once a year around the 24 hours. Will try to go to the canadian GP every year too.

Ferrari's '08 wheel. think they'll ever tell us what these mean??? Some we can probably deduce, others....no idea..

I find it funny that the steering wheels have words printed on them near most buttons/knobs/dials etc... I'm pretty sure that most drivers would learn the functions and only glance to make sure they are making the right changes... Can't really imagine Alonso is looking at the steering wheel thinking "where's the radio button?".

I'm sure they'll have a manual explaining what button does what etc... I remember Hamilton said he sat and played with one of his wheels for hours to memorise everything.

I have strong opinions and forums are for discussion, if someone doesn't want to be called on their posts, then they shouldn't be posting.
Besides, I enjoy decent discussion, usually I get some better understanding of whatever the topic is and learn a thing or two. Plus its always interesting to hear other people's opinions.
I also like expanding on points or topics people bring up sometimes, usually because I think of something particularly contentious that I'd like to hear other people's opinions on.

I wasn't asking you to justify yourself... I was just remembering our little Senna V Schumacher "debate" (started by myself)... Next time I see your avatar, you're having another debate. As it happens, I agree with you on this one. Guess that's what forums are for. I remember on one forum, an american f1 fan was saying that sponsors were dying for F1 to return to america and would trip over themselves to be associated with an american team/driver/grand prix.

My response? Explain usf1's failure. Still waiting on a reply to that one...

Sorry for the "double" post... My last post was yesterday, and I didn't have enough time to respond to everyone I wanted to. I would've edited my previous post, but it probably wouldn't have been read... This will serve as a "bump" for the thread.
