So has anyone worked out what the new controls are?"Everything is different. It's so complex and far, far beyond what we've had before," mused Hamilton. "As a driver, we have more switches on the steering-wheel than we have ever had before, so it's a big challenge. This is going to be a seriously challenging year for every team."
Let's see, there should be controls for:
-fuel mix
-diff entry
-diff mid-corner
-diff exit
-drink
-radio
-pit speed limiter
-msg ok
-mistake/flag data button?
-MGU-K harvesting
-brake bias (moved to the wheel this year?)
-reverse/neutral
-menu up/down
-engine map
Those would have all been present on last year's car. This year there's supposedly only a map per tire, at least for the throttle to torque demand mapping. I would guess there is maybe a MGU-H setting? What else might the teams have dreamed up for the driver to deal with?
