F1 | Mercedes, Bottas explains some of his steering wheel controls [VIDEO]

In a short clip published on Mercedes' social channels, Valtteri Bottas revealed the positioning of the control that manages the differential in the steering wheel of the W10 EQ-Power+, revealing how it is a ring placed on the left of the steering wheel. As regards the right area, however, we find a further ring, always of the same type, with the latter however regulating the behavior of the car mid-corner.

Thanks to this input, in fact, the driver can choose whether to have more or less understeer or oversteer when cornering, thus managing the behavior of the car in a fairly delicate moment of driving. An intuitive command which, obviously, is often activated by the riders, especially in the race and in the most difficult moments in terms of tire management.
