A Formula 1 steering wheel is a substantial bit of kit, especially when taking into account all the things the driver has to do and think about in his car’s cockpit other than driving at full pelt for up to two solid hours in searing heat!

So let’s talk you through everything going on in Lewis and Jenson’s respective offices, going through the buttons and dials labelled A to H first... Phew.
