Just because I wanted to share this. I thought my dash was confusing but darn this takes it to another level.

So many options for the AC, I just wouldn't know what to do!

I'm not sure the size of the team would make any difference there.

Here's the 2013 Lotus piece.

I wish my steering wheel had a nap mode.

Love the Lotus wheel - particularly the variable "translate - anti-mumble" dial! Also the "Jenson" button.

Cars are assembled in England. No cold beer.

Proof that F1 drivers are really robots. They have a "smile" button, LOL

The "open gate" knob made me smile.

I'm curious to see if they will get even more complicated under next year's rules package.

F1 should make a rule that they can only have a kill switch and PTT button for the radio in the steering wheel and only a brake bias dial for chassis adjustment.

make them get the setup right before the race and win with what they are given when the green flag drops and what the crew can manually adjust quickly during pit stops during the race.

Next year they'll surely be adding a knob for boost control.

Why? This is F1. Technology is allowed.
