The steering wheel of the modern Formula 1 car is quite complicated. It is a system in itself with numerous buttons, each with its own function. Mercedes engineers try to explain as much as possible about Lewis Hamilton's steering wheel in record time.
No stickers for Hamilton
At record speed, the engineers go through the various buttons and call out which function goes with which button. There are quite a few of them and not all buttons are discussed.
In his time at Mercedes, Nico Rosberg applied a handy way of remembering all the buttons by simply putting stickers next to them, but Hamilton does not seem to have adopted this from his former teammate as yet.
