where is the Jenson button
+Theo John Ha. We see what you did there ;)
This comment made my day 😂
HDReeZeD i was going to put "i just found it its a the back" but i thought to harsh on the team with so much bad luck over the past few years
Theo John i don't understand can u explain
Ginger Boy there is a driver called Jenson Button. He is in the back of most races.
"My last team"
I wouldn't be so keen on name dropping McLaren either, given their current state.
Shots fired
Mystery Science Theater F1 mclaren might used mercedes power if honda still keeps working like garbage
I believe the steering wheel is made by McLaren's Electronics division. And I do believe McLaren make the steering wheel for most of the teams.
Twin Fun man good call. theyre gonna do that next year
@@TwinsFun this aged like wine
Imagine Nascar doing this. Here we have the typical Nascar steering wheel its round and black that's about it.
NASCAR is more about the dash especially now with it being digital and switches on the boards for the dash and startup
That is the difference between high-tech + weight reduction and low-tech + Vagisil consumption.
lol, just like the boring ovals they race on.. hold!! yellow flag! yawn
nascar is worse than monaco
They do have two buttons on the wheel, radio and something else I'm not sure of.
I held the Merc wheel for a few seconds in 2014 on my tour in the pits, it screams quality! Quite incredible how well-made and strong the parts in a F1 car are. Cool video! :)
Where is the "hammer time" button?? hahah :)
+Julio Proença Strat 6, hidden button ;)
The button on the back
i like lewis explaining stuff to us
What about the DVD button?
Such an amazing wheel and definitely enjoying the new approaches you're taking to get more connected with the fans and educate them!
Thanks for the video it is very interesting. It has less button than I thought with all the things they have to manage during the race. It seems the left switch manages all ERS systems at once (MGU-K, MGU-H modes and maybe the engine brake).
Didn't expect the "Mark" button to check the telemetry data after the session, great idea.
Love these vids keep up the good work Mercedes!
First class tech -session from Lewis Hamilton. Mercedes F1, is developing a worldwide relationship with the fans.
2016, three world titles (Constructors and Driver) back -to-back!
Under pressure, embracing the challenge to win!
guys i love these videos.
+Schór Patrik Good thing there are more to come ;)
+MERCEDES AMG PETRONAS niceeee
Lewis Hamilton is my hero
@@MercedesAMGF1 cant wait!
Great job Mercedes! Keep it coming! 👌
250 grams actually makes a difference guys. G forces 6 times of that amount increase the cars adds a kilo of relative weight on the car.
Lose a lot of weight so you can throw farther?
Exactly
Throw it in there Lewis
This vid made my day more better
Nice, we are ready and waiting here in Texas!
I’m more fascinated by his watch. I want that Big Pilot. It’s a grail of mine.
Not a lewis superfan, but this is a cool video, nice work guys!
Mercedes, excellent content. I was wondering just how customisable the steering wheel can be. Does there have to be a minimum amount of options on the steering wheel?
holy crap! respect! .... to all F1 drivers!
He’s wearing the IWC watch. 😍
awesome video!! Ferrari are struggling to win the constructors champ,but you guys are untouchable..!!
i never though f1 have cruise control
what is that, i dont understand
It's for the pit lane they press the button so the car doesn't go over the pitlane speed limit.
Nah, he said cruise control is for testing.
Sounds kinda dangerous.
all the pitspeed button does is prevent the engine from going over a certain RPM so it wont go faster than say 45mph, as in with it in you can hammer the pedal down all day long but the max speed you're gonna do it 45mph
amazing! cheers Lewis...keep them coming
It looks so satisfying like so old school gameboy
Where is the "Hammer Time" switch?.. heard it goes all the way to 11
really cool unique content, thumbs up for sure,
+Cranky0ldMan Glad you're liking it!
When drivers explain things they remind me of workers at target don't have clue what your talking about and figure out a product themselves as they show you it lol
yeah, this was shit.
Well there are differences between the drivers. But yeah, Lewis sounds like beyond stupid.
What you people don't realize is some parts of the steering wheel are team's secrets, so he goes around it saying something it does but not what exactly it can do. Also, they're not used to call the functions full name, for example, he may call the engine mode selector EMC(like aviation MCP, EADI, EHSI, FMC, FMS), after years of calling it like that he may forget what it means.
ctdesing I think this makes the most sense. He obviously knows exactly what each button does but he’s careful not to give away team secrets.
I don't think Lewis sounded stupid. He went along telling you what each button does. How can you possibly liken it to someone working for minimum wage in a shitty shop; Lewis knows every inch of that steering wheel better than you'll ever know anything in your life, because his life depends upon it. It's like how a soldier knows every inch of his gun.
i lost 200gr last week and felt really bad because i was working so hard but now i know it's a lot of weight hahaha #justf1driverthings
Love this so many colours and so many buttons. Lewis ur the best. Team LH44🇬🇧!!
Any chance of doing a Mercedes f1 steering wheel/pedal for xbox one I've just got the thrustmaster Ferrari f458 steering wheel and the f1 2016 game not tried it yet
That's not down to us unfortunately!
+MERCEDES AMG PETRONAS thanks appreciate the reply. It's a shame they don't get a licence and do one for most f1 steering wheels or interchangeable manufacturers decals etc.on a separate note,as a Hamilton and f1 fan I'm happy he's at the top and made a fantastic recovery from what was a 2nd place start to the season. Just shows even with problems he didn't let it affect him in the long run. Many thanks and great video.
Simon Milner same I’m a Hamilton fan too 💪🏻
Have you tried the wheel since this comment? Would you recomend it
Been looking for those racing shoes Lewis is wearing, customized only for him or for sale? many thanks.
Bloody hell: "We saved a lot of height, we saved like 250g" I'm amazed of how important the little things are in F1, anything details can do the difference :O
How can some people hate a guy like this?
Nice vid
This one was actually the Wii U controller prototype. :P
what is the ratio for the steering? i imagine it isn't very comfortable to turn the wheel several times to get around a hairpin
"my favourite button..." tfw u wanted him to say Jenson
My No.1 Fan
When you took it out of its box was there a noose in there with it?
That's a sh@t loads of buttons to remember at 170mph! Well done lewis.. Can you now show me how to set my washing machine plz?:)
"Very proud of it!" That's why you threw it out of your cockpit didn't you!
I love these video but did anyone else think "He's either trying not to give too much away in terms of 'tech'" or "he's got NO clue what he's talking about" - Love you Ham.
This carryover from 2014 till today ressembles the 2018 gp2/f2 steering wheel. Not exactly, but simillarly close
I know That Back Of Botton Is Speed Limiter
That Button Of Back Of Steering Wheel Is Give More Speed Of 350 or Takes
Overtakes The Driver To Driver
As a guy who works in the industrial connector business, what Series of connector plug do you use on the back there where it connects to the steering column? D38999 or possibly Mil-26482? I see it's got one of the red plastic dust caps.
There's a reason we don't show the back ;)
My favourite jenson button is this
I love the pains he goes to not to show the back of the wheel! ;-)
And where is that 'swag' button?
I don't think he needs a button for that
He talks about the steering wheel as if he's never actually used half the functions
nice chair
Wow....So many buttons. Couldn't remember them.
Would like to have that steering wheel
Ham wearing the Big Pilot
Nice steering wheel i will put in my mercedes amg gtr
Thank you Lewis!
Ten people didn't understand .........!
TIL F1 cars have cruise control. Cool.
You should get a race engineer to do one of these steering wheel videos as well.
We'll see what we can do! Thanks for commenting.
What shoes are those?? They look too good
+Jinx TheLooseCannon Probably special Puma shoes given their sponsorship with Puma.
Cruise control? That seems like such a regular car thing xD
I love him
inb4 the hidden button is traction control
+Football Gaming no it's the secret launch control system.... ;) shhhhhh
Strat 3-4-5 is high power(4 quali)..Strat 6 is slow i don't know the others
STRAT - 3 in Monza
Where's the party mode button?
how much does it cost to make one steering wheel?
He's shoes are fucking dope
Blue button is for NITRO
I've seen them doing it !!!
You mean KERS
+LammyJammy 03 ... Oh really! Thanks for clarifying that!...
Sorry mate in case you didn't know I was being sarcastic...
There is NO NiTRo in F1
one question do the 250 grams he lost from the steering wheel affect the cars performance. cause i cant see how
Yeah, it's 250 grams lighter and F1 is all about tiny edges.
"To lose as much weight as possible"
*Thinks of Racing Point's wheel*
more videos!
+Hans611 Coming!
2019..... The buttons on the steering wheel ahah
What are those 4 Paddles? I know 2 for the gears, but for what are the other 2?
Clutch
Anywhere I can buy this wheel? I always wanted one.
No
Lewis Hamilton ASMR
i did it, i made the steering wheel. Arrogant man
Is there a smile button? :P
Where's the 'Hold My Beer' button?!
wheres the vtec button
Where’s the horn?
omg it even has cruise control 😂😂
It does make me smirk that he doesnt really know what half the buttons are for and just blagged his way through most of that!
NASCAR engineers be like.... 😳😳😳😱😱😱 . Hahaha!!
Fun fact: With that steering wheel he lost the championship
I've heard people say "f1 is easy" yet they probably wouldnt even be able to operate the steering wheel...
How is He able to manage all those buttons going at 200+ MPH ?? 🙈😂
Can I get one for my go kart? Lol
Hamilton world champion 2016
fixed it for you:
Rosberg world champion 2016
English Exam:
Nico Rosberg
Grade: A
Lewis Hamilton
Grade: B-
wow
sebastian vettel will need that
Do the new wheels not have an ERS deployment button?
+Ginger Boy No not since 2014. We have different deployment strategies but no button for electrical boost as this is managed by the onboard electronics around the lap.
+MERCEDES AMG PETRONAS oh ok tks, very interesting and if a driver has more ERS it will be automatically deployed right?
+MERCEDES AMG PETRONAS and may i know what diffrentials are
''We saved a lot of weight, we saved like 200 grams, 250 grams''
Weight reduction level: beyond extreme
also he says the seat is around 1 kilogram. wow.
Marko Rajić next the drivers are going to go on diets and get carbon fibre legs and arms for weight reduction
@@bigboimihai6559 Greetings from the future. In 2019, drivers+seat will have to meet a minimum combined weight of 80kg to keep all the drivers the same "weight". 200g of weight saving reminds me of some of the hardcore backpackers I know; they will literally cut the handle off their toothbrush to save weight.
He seems very enthusiastic about it
It looks like he was apprehensive that he might give too much information away to his competitors.
what about lance strolls steering wheel
Did he just say "cruise control" he he
How the hell can you stay focused driving with all those buttons to be operated??
where is the drink button man?? don't Hamilton gets a drink button??
Where's the "Leave me alone I know what I'm doing..." button?
Only available on Kimi's steering wheel. Alonso has the "GP2 engine" button.
