The key to driving a Formula 1 is a technological marvel that allows the pilot to a series of complex operations during the race and reports on different variants of the car.
The steering wheel is the primary part that connects the driver with his car . Besides its obvious goal of leading the direction of the car, the 'wheel' is a much more complex and highly technical piece for equipment, because it gives the driver a lot of information necessary for state control of the car.
is also used to perform as quickly as possible settings for various track conditions. How do you make? How much? What the pilot can get to him? For all we have answers ... and curiosities.
When it comes to this sport, it's easy to hear comments about the little room for maneuver that a pilot to advance, to get good times to be at the expense simply "good" that is the car. However, there is to know that there is a steady and immediate data from cars to computers in boxes that allow engineers to control the situation of the car.
Therefore, the person is the key. The pilot is the key. His wisdom, competitiveness and quality is the set of features that should be handled personally to actually change anything immediately. And this will depend to a greater extent, scratching tenths or otherwise attack at the right time. Once the car on the track, the pilot is one who is facing the asphalt jungle. And thanks to the steering wheel, drivers not only drive the car on the curves: they know almost instantly.
few years ago, the rules allowed two-way telemetry, communication with engineers stationed in the pits, which allowed that could send data from the garage to the car. For example, variations and mixtures in the configuration when the track went from dry to wet.
Subsequently, these communications were withdrawn for reasons of cost, so that the FIA \u200b\u200bsimply too much of these advances in communication So now the driver is 'thinking and acting head' on the changes when the car is not is in the pits.
Like most parties the car, the main body of the wheel is made of carbon fiber. Small buttons and levers can be done in Alcantara, a versatile composite material with 68% polyester and 32% polyurethane. Can also be made of rubber, depending on the preference of l driver.
The position of the different switches is also involved, for the most part, the pilot, as this piece was developed with the most preferences and advice from their end users. Everything as far as possible and trying to reduce but, space and cost.
In the Grand Prix, every driver has a minimum of three leaflets available ready for use so there is always a spare in case you skip any failure or accident damage. This piece is very carefully by the team leaders, and that also takes care to show them just what the flyers to their competitors. Therefore, it is designed and manufactured in-house team.
Thus, it is an item that is not distributed by a second brand, such as tires. If anything, the only part that comes out is the screen, which is attached to the electronic assembly of the rest of the car. Thus you can see electronic displays in them, something that all teams are required to use.
The display can be integrated into the steering wheel module itself, as does Mercedes, or mounted on the edges of the cockpit (cockpit with its limitations of the driver in the car).
Actually, the final cost of the entire development of this component is not known exactly. As they say from Mercedes, "it is somewhat difficult to answer, like many other parts of the car."
But there has always been curious and fascinated by this element as a camera 'on board' part shows the steering wheel. To be made to measure, you can simply buy one in a 'general'. But if you had to label it as a curiosity with a figure Mercedes calculated on the £ 20,000 pounds. You can also talk about some 30,000 euros per unit.
