Annotated Video Shows What Buttons F1 Drivers Press During A Lap
Formula 1 steering wheels are ridiculously complicated and it’s tough to know what buttons drivers are pressing during a lap, but this annotated Nico Rosberg pole position onboard from the European Grand Prix at Baku explains all

F1 steering wheels are a bit insane tbh :)
No surprise even the drivers themselves sometimes get confused between all the settings and modes (e.g. Nico Rosberg and Spain’16)
Meanwhile people can’t figure out how to use their blinkers
SAVAGE!!
at least the people knows how to use radio to call the team to help. LOL
who else was saying down down down down…. during the downshifts? :D
what is BMIG?
Probably Brakingbalance
“…Brake Migration (BMIG) setup, adjusting how the car’s brake-by-wire system adjusts front-rear braking balance on the fly.”
Always thought that it’d be interesting to see prototype circuit racing where the cars have a driver and an onboard engineer who decides when to pit, what tyres, what settings etc and the driver just drives with no contact to the pits.
What buttons does jenson press
Actually at first reading i got confused as well :D
All the wrong ones
He presses his own button. He presses Jenson’s button
I thought DRS automatically closes when you brake?
It can be manually closed too
Yes, DRS automatically closes when the brake is pressed. But it is advisable to manually close the DRS so that the car is balanced well before it enters the corner.
Any gamers worth their salt can do all those adjustments on the fly, but prolly G-LOC at the first corner.
