Can you do a video on why Perez couldn’t get into reverse and why getting into reverse in an f1 car is such a hassle?
I think perez did get into reverse, but his front wing was stuck under the barrier
As the other guy said, Perez did get into reverse, he was just wedged into the barrier (look at his wing when he got out) But look up how reverse works and it will all make sense. Reverse is not synchromesh & you are literally forcing a gear between two other gears to get the gearbox to spin backwards. Sometimes these just don't line up & thus reverse can't be found.
He did get on reverse. The thing is he was stuck and that's why he couldn't back up. Some say reverse is the worst gear in f1, you know because that means you screwed up once you engange it.
You have to do a long series of stuff like HHP position 6 or something like that so drivers don't accidentally go into reverse.
I think getting into reverse is such a hassle coz normally if you go off on a circuit you just do a fancy flick and you're back on track, so generally they don't have a habit of switching to the reverse
Question: Gentlemen, a short view back to the past. Thirty years ago, Niki Lauda told us ‘take a monkey, place him into the cockpit and he is able to drive the car.’ Thirty years later, Sebastian told us ‘I had to start my car like a computer, it’s very complicated.’ And Nico Rosberg said that during the race - I don’t remember what race - he pressed the wrong button on the wheel. Question for you both: is Formula One driving today too complicated with twenty and more buttons on the wheel, are you too much under effort, under pressure? What are your wishes for the future concerning the technical programme during the race? Less buttons, more? Or less and more communication with your engineers?
I'm sorry, can you please repeat the question?
"Can I ask you who that question is to?"
"No he said it was for me- for me and Nico"
"HE DIDN'T LISTEN. CAN YOU REPEAT THE QUESTION?"
Such an icon
massively underrated comment🤣
I laughed when i heard Seb telling that. Cause starting a computer is very easy you just push one button
I feel like an F1 driver when I use the back buttons behind the steering wheel to change radio stations.
I feel like Verstappen in Spain because mine only work when they feel like it
Listening to what all these buttons do,
I was constantly thinking-
"Gentlemen, A short view into the past"
Hahahahaha
30 years ago,Niki Lauda told us "Take a trained monke,place him into the cockpit,and the monke is able to drive the car."
30 years later sebestian told us " i had to start my car like a computer, it's very complicated"
and nico rosberg said that during the race - don't remember what race- he pressed the wrong button on the wheel
do they use the hand clutch when they shift in between gears? edit: i just googled incase anyone else was wondering and didn't know like me "F1 cars do have a clutch, but not in the same way that your manual car has a clutch. F1 car clutches operate automatically for all gear changes during a race, but they are operated manually at the start of the race to get into first gear, and sometimes if the driver spins or needs to reverse."
Its insane how manny settings modern wheels have, i mean it goes a long way to even drive a car this fast without crashing in the first place. Its so many inputs, where in comparison when I do simracing on PC2 in gt3's i get overwelmed with my 10-15 inputs. Overall its just rad to see what can be changed with a click of a button.
like he said, it's very instinctive, and all the buttons have different textures and shapes, so you'd be able to tell which is which just by feel, obviously you wouldn't be looking down at your wheel too often, but it also depends on the track, some have long straights, where you could micro manage all that stuff on the straight.
Short, snappy and to the point. Great video!
every wheel except williams looks really good because those dudes have the screen mounted on the chassis
pretty sure their technology is archaic compared to the other teams, and that their budget is astoundingly low - but it makes the steering wheel lighter :)
Who knows how much that setup costs. Anytime I see it I always think of low budget, which is insane for a multi million dollar car
Insane that I heard that Williams does that for weight distribution!?
Well your noone is reading the lcd display with the wheel in full lock, Williams approach makes more sense to me.
Matts smiling and nodding is hypnotising 🤣
Great vid guys, I’ve always wondered what it all meant
And then you realize that an F1 steering wheel is worth more than most of our cars. Such a fascinatingly, beautiful piece of technology. But I think I have to ask.
"Question: Gentlemen, a short view back to the past.

Who is this for?
It's for Nico and myself, you weren't listening, can you repeat the question.
Can you look into F1 helmets? Like how drivers decide wot brand helmet they want? Bell Helmets and the other brand I can't remember. And everything else that goes into drivers helmets. That would be awesome!
A CZcamsr called Matt amys did a video on how helmets are made. Would recommend
they already did that, here: czcams.com/video/fwFuCFN76v4/video.html
Arai
Hère: czcams.com/video/y9EcRkDmu00/video.html
The drivers usually can't choose the brand themselves. The whole aero of the car is usually designed with a specific helmet in mind. So you often see both drivers of the same team driving with the same helmet model.
Edit: But at least Bottas and Ricciardo are exeptions to this.
Ah, yes... The classical "How does the F1 wheel work?"
it's not that complicated, it spins, has a tire on it, not that much to it, pretty similar to the one on your car

This video needs to be renamed to “Every button on an F1 steering wheel in 126 seconds”
As always, great video, just leaves me wanting more wtf1
Just 1 question: where is the "magic" button?
Did the engineers remove/replace it after Azerbaijan?
Asking for a friend..
Pretty sure Merc says those thing in the race debrief. You can go find it in the channel.
iirc magic button is still there where it was, somewhere around top left , they just added additional cover kinda thing so it wont be pressed by mistake. Not sure though
i've never seen an f1 wheel up close; ty @WTF1 for showing us
Oh good they haven't found my secret consistancy button I use to always get a top 5. Thats a relief. 🙂
I found it
Consistency is key
How you know he's an engineer: look at that left thumb LOL he's smashed it in something.
Lol. I was thinking... Even an F1 mechanic smashes his fingers!
It’s amazing to me, all the stuff that these drivers have to do. Even aside from the actual driving!
So, if I understand the technical expert correctly, he had you lot fooled. This was a video about some of the buttons on the steering wheel ;-)
Was always curious how the drivers get the DRS flap open at the perfect time. Now I know how. Thanks Matt.
@@ibraal6798 Ik that but drivers might press the DRS button early by misjudging the position of white line so I wasn't quite sure about it.
Where is the "DRINK" button.
You forget the drink. Is the drink, is it on now?
Was I the only one looking for "magic" button in lewis's steering wheel.
Everyone: learning about the f1 steering wheel
Me who came here to only find out where the magic button is.
very interesting that they hear a beep on the DRS zone. I always hought they just saw the sign
I want to press every single one of those buttons.
I could watch a whole hour about this 😲
You can adjust inside wheel speed??
aston martin be like" yo guys you all better take note all of this
Title: Every button
Video: Most buttons
It’s somewhat surprising how small the gear paddles are. Maybe it’s just because we’re so used to road cars ones being so much bigger
Matt looked like he had way too much fun before filming this, can't blame him it is Miami after all.
I haven't yet got to the point in f1 2021 game to need to change diff and brake balance mid race, its bonkers how many buttons they have...
i usually look up setups before a race, and then im good, my style is very focused around the car rather that what i feel is right
diff improves traction on slower corners, so if you lose part of your wing or something, turn that up. brake balance is pretty subjective, but i usually go for 56%, it can help you with trail braking, also in dry conditions you want more frontward braking balance, but in rain, your brakes would be more likely to lock up, because of extra force subjected to the front, so you would tip it more rearward.
Can you explain why they’re getting rid of tire blankets next season?
This is rlly cool
Watch it agan , this is GOLD !
This looks like the perfect fidget toy
Kimi's steering wheel also had ZE DRINCC button (exept for that one time)
Sooooooo,
Should we have less or more buttons and settings for future F1 seasons?
No i'm not gonna copy paste that one long question during interview I'm just wondering the same thing and curious with yall people opinions here
Do they have an eco mode for following the safety car ?
Matt, is looking like the dude is trying to sell him a roomba and he was too shy to tell him he don't need one and now they are so deep in the conversation that he's afraid it would be rude to just leave.
The most important button DAS.
Last minute revision be like:
What is HPP?
What is a strat?
So in other words, this is how the drivers push their engineers buttons? 😅
Can anyone explain me they use clutch for gear shifting time?
That's enough buttons to make your head spin!
The question is "Where is the magic button..." ?
1:12 WRONG the 10+ is basically decreases the position the 1+ is what increases it
1:40 that’s not the cancel button that is the race start button
WHERE IS MY MAGIC BUTTON
He missed out on the "magic button" it does something with the brake balance?
what button puts the banana peel on the track
why does no one ever talk about the drink button?
Yo love it , probably they were allowed to show fraction of a sek in certain moments, sorry my English grama is Mclaren Honda engine xD
i want one for my racing rig
Can somebody explain to me why the steering costs so much but it’s essentially a game controller? Genuine question. Aren’t the buttons just inputs that controllers have? Why are they so exponentially more expensive?
Probably because they are custom made for each team - to control different hardware, electronics and softwares of the car - specific to the requirements of the maker. I don't think the steering wheels are interchangeable between different cars. Also they have to withstand the racing conditions such as weather, vibration, safety requirements, etc. To produce niche tool to do specific things well, they are not cheap to make. Otherwise Logitech would make them in droves.
It really looks like you have to start up the car like computer
All I want to know - where is the magic button
video needed to be a little bit longer, didnt even mention they use it for steering
Didn't see the drink button for Kimi
Wait.. they need to press the clutch on brake zones? That'd be new to me
Matt, you forgot to ask how many times you have to press the DRS button. There are some sources that suggest only once, but we have also seen that it might take at least 50 button presses.....
Can it run crisis?
Freaking awesome
hey wtf1 very cool vid! :)
No buttun to change music tracks or broadcast stations. :)
should have asked him where brake magic is
A short few back to the past
Put monke in car,monke drive
Where is the magic button 💀
This is in Miami eh?
There are over 20 buttons and dials on the wheel, why tease and not do an in depth long one?
Wat about the brake magic tho?
U forgot the drink button.
At this point they’re more like pilots the drivers
126 seconds, ik :0
Where's the Brake Magic button?
the leftover from Miami
Trying to look for some MAGIC......
No Netflix on the steering wheel? 😉
Does it make a coffee?
PUSH ANY BUTTON. AND MERC BOUNCE.
Which one's for your choons?
Where's the brake magic button?
I'm no expert but I'm pretty sure it's 125 seconds
where is the magic button!
Where’s the drink button for Kimi?
Hey everyone, I just wanted to check in and say hi and have a good day.
50 years ago, Niki Lauda told us…
Put monke in car,monke drive car
Please make a long video with detailed explanations. Not 120 seconds
Where's the magic button?
where was the magic button?
Who’s going to festival of speed tomorrow?
And I thought F1 games where complicated
Where's the magic button
Where's the Magic button?
Honestly, take all the buttons away, and just let the drivers race.
Any chance for Ferrari to bounce back and fight for championship?
125 seconds*
