Holy crap, that would be crazy trying to figure that out while racing.

Very cool though!

Re: F1 steering wheels explained
Looks a little harder than what I'm used to on gt5.

I'd like to see a F1 teams financial records. The money/time that goes into making these things fast has got to be unreal.

Considering Richard Hammond tried to drive one for just two laps and struggled, the car on its own is just one ridiculous handful... never mind that insane steering wheel.

Re: F1 steering wheels explained
It's possible that it's a paddle on the back of the wheel, or that they don't have it. I'll bet this car doesn't have it.
