This is a picture of Jacques Villeneuve's steering wheel, it's shaped as his hands. I didn't know that they did that! Race seats, that I knew, like everybody else I think, but that the steering wheel is shaped specific for a driver I didn't know. Does anyone has more information or pictures of other drivers steering wheel who have it too?

I know JV uses one paddle to shift up and shift down, the top part of the paddle shifter shifts up and the bottom part shifts down, I think he is the only f1 driver to do that.
Simon: Nils? You can close in now. Nils?
John McClane: [on the guard's phone] Attention! Attention! Nils is dead! I repeat, Nils is dead, ----head. So's his pal, and those four guys from the East German All-Stars, your boys at the bank? They're gonna be a little late.
Simon: [on the phone] John... in the back of the truck you're driving, there's $13 billon dollars worth in gold bullion. I wonder would a deal be out of the question?
John McClane: [on the phone] Yeah, I got a deal for you. Come out from that rock you're hiding under, and I'll drive this truck up your ass.
I like the "Kill" Button, Is that for the hidden Weapon?

I believe in the chain of command, Its the chain I use to beat you till you do what i want!!!
For each driver, ergonomics can be important. Obviously for Jacques, he considers it important for everything to fit right and be comfortable. Emerson Fittipaldi used to spend literally hours and hours just sitting in his car cockpit, checking everything and making sure everything felt right and was adjusted perfectly to his desires. http://www.personagrip.com/pages/Testimonials.html

Ferrari, or at least Schuey has this for several years. I wouldn't be surprised if all the other teams have tried it.
Williams used to have different diameter wheels for Montoya and Ralf Schu.
I find that Jacques Villeneuve's steering wheel is very interesting. It's smart too...i guess you have even more grip and control over the steering wheel.
What do you think it's made of??....cause it doesn't seem like metal or rubber.
