    Thanks for the video it is very interesting. It has less button than I thought with all the things they have to manage during the race. It seems the left switch manages all ERS systems at once (MGU-K, MGU-H modes and maybe the engine brake).
    Didn't expect the "Mark" button to check the telemetry data after the session, great idea.

    • @ctdesing
      @ctdesing 6 лет назад +21

      What you people don't realize is some parts of the steering wheel are team's secrets, so he goes around it saying something it does but not what exactly it can do. Also, they're not used to call the functions full name, for example, he may call the engine mode selector EMC(like aviation MCP, EADI, EHSI, FMC, FMS), after years of calling it like that he may forget what it means.

    • @JustSujC
      @JustSujC 6 лет назад +9

    • @David-ud9ju
      @David-ud9ju 6 лет назад +6

      I don't think Lewis sounded stupid. He went along telling you what each button does. How can you possibly liken it to someone working for minimum wage in a shitty shop; Lewis knows every inch of that steering wheel better than you'll ever know anything in your life, because his life depends upon it. It's like how a soldier knows every inch of his gun.

      all the pitspeed button does is prevent the engine from going over a certain RPM so it wont go faster than say 45mph, as in with it in you can hammer the pedal down all day long but the max speed you're gonna do it 45mph

    There’s a racing legend that says each time a racing driver throws his steering wheel, he will have a sh**y championship. Lewis threw this wheel in 2016, and later lost it to Nico.
