While maneuvering the car is still the primary function of an F1 steering wheel, it is far more than that. Rather, the steering wheel houses a variety of functions – making it the control centre of the car. Throughout a race, the driver and race engineer work closely to ensure optimal car settings are deployed at any given time. In this podast, Gary Cannon - Mick Schumacher’s race engineer - explains the frequency, rationale and complexity of setting changes.

Topics

1. The primary functions of an F1 steering wheel

2. The interaction between driver and race engineer

3. The steering wheel as the main hub

4. The cost of a steering wheel
