Steering Wheel for Formula One Cars - Unbelievable w/pic

 

Steering wheel from an Sauber C33 Formula One racing car.

There is no trick and WIRED has a detailed article on the functions for all the buttons and knobs.  (WIRED: An Inside Look at the Insanely Complex Formula 1 Steering Wheel)

Figured it all out yet??  OK, then.  Let's try it at 325 kph and see how it looks.  Yes, that big black thing really is a display screen in the middle.


Stirling Moss said he could watch the track, the tachometer, and a pretty girl on the side of the track at the same time while he was racing.  I have no doubt he could but this steering wheel stretches any idea of that to some insane extreme.  With visual from the screen on top of that ... whew ... these guys must have superhuman minds to process all that information without losing concentration on the driving.

This is too simple for them, huh?? Ah well, I guess I will never make the cut to hang out with them.
