Alonso: Where’s Palmer? Engineer: Alonso, you’re in Palmer’s seat Alonso: Karma Also Alonso: Where’s my steering wheel? Engineer: Oh Palmer has it Palmer: Karma
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?
@Galacticdragon unlike other teams, George's (William's) steering wheel has no screen, like the ones on Vettel's championship winning cars (2010-2013 Red Bulls).
@Galacticdragon I think its cos there was an onboard where the car was telling George to cool the breaks or engine and the dash just said 'COOL' , probably that
oh now that would be the icing on the cake, if Alonso replaced Palmer after he retires (again). sadly that would mean having to put up with Palmer for a couple more years :(
I love that they are now allowed to show the complete steering wheel. I remember a couple of years ago they were talking about what the buttons do yet they couldn't show the back part.
If someone told me back in 2017 that in 2021 Jolyon Palmer is explaining the steering wheel from the Team he drove in 2017, which is now not a Renault anymore and now is the steering wheel of Fernando Alonso, I probably had called him crazy.
I'm of course really impressed by the level of detail in this explanation, but also with the amount of supporting imagery that's given. For every button there was an example on-board of a driver using said button. Nicely done!!
I didn’t think much of Jolyon back when he was with Renault in 2016 & 2017, but I really enjoy the way he explains and analyses content for the fans. Cheers.
I bought it 2 weeks ago it‘s pretty nifty, although not comparable to Direct Drive wheels, but for beginners its nice also you dont have to spend 2 grand on it
F1 is such a fascinating arms race, and this is such a cool part of it because it's the primary interface (other than the pedals) that the driver has with all that tech. Great video. Hopefully it helps me keep up with at least a bit of what the drivers are doing.
How far steering wheel technology has come. I wonder if Ayrton Senna was racing nowadays and having to learn all that equipment. He said he didn't even like the flappy paddles when they were introduced.
He'd probably detest every single bit of it at first, but I reckon the ability to tune the car per lap, per situation, per second would be something he'd easily maximise to an incredible degree for his benefit. He'd been highly involved in the setup process in the garage -- giving him that power IN THE COCKPIT will be the next level.
huge among of respect not only for F1 driver, but also for the team that prepare all the small thing for their team to success. they are best of the best in the world.
I can't even fiddle around with all those buttons in any of the F1 games without crashing. It's amazing to me the drivers are able to do it while driving all out, while wearing a helmet, and having sun glare in their face IRL.
Something I noticed on many Formula 1 rims is that there is a rotary dial for adjusting "BBal" or "BRKBAL" while there are also button that say "BBal+" and "BBal-" or "BB+" and "BB-"
Palmer: if you don't know where the switches are, you're going to be looking pretty silly George Sakhir FP: so I uh......, how to turn of the car? George Sakhir Qualifying: Bono, which button tho?
I wanted to say that moving from a team to another will take some time to get used to the new steering wheel because of muscle memory but he mentioned at the end about Danny Ric
Gentlemen, a short view back to the past. Thirty years ago, Niki Lauda told us: "Take a trained 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 Rosbeg said, err, he pressed during the race, I don't remember what race, the wrong button on the wheel. Question for you to both. Is formula 1 driving today too complicated with 20 and more buttons on the wheel, are you too much under effort, under pressure? What are your wishes for the future, concerning technical program, errrm, during the race? Less buttons, more? Or less and more comunication with your engineers.
The coordination and concentration needed during an entire race is nothing short of impressive - aside from just having the stones to drive the car as fast as they need to.
i was leading a full lenght race in f1 video game and on the very lasts laps, team asked me to save fuel. i think i've lost 10 seconds updating my fuel setting and the race win. so much respect for the drivers.
Normal driver: dont text and drive
F1 driver: drive fast and play with computer
Except for Santino
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
F1 is so complex that even the guy that gives lecture about steering wheels can only explain the one from his previous team
🤣🤣🤣🤣

The steering wheel alone really puts into perspective just how many things you have to keep track of in these current cars versus 20-30 years ago.

If someone told me back in 2017 that in 2021 Jolyon Palmer is explaining the steering wheel from the Team he drove in 2017, which is now not a Renault anymore and now is the steering wheel of Fernando Alonso, I probably had called him crazy.
That would have been an oddly specific speculation but other than that it's not that weird.
Alonso: “What Palmer is doing, he needs to give me back the steering wheel!”
... gloves... and steering wheel...
Engineer: Palmer has retired
Alonso: Karma!
(1 second later)
Alonso: Wait, where's my steering wheel?
Palmer: Karma!
“The less you do with the wheel the faster you will be.” Words have never been less true here

Ahh yes the overtake button, lando’s greatest friend
His got two best friends scenerio seven and overtake button!
ITS BWOKEN ! ITS BWOKEN
Ah yes the overtake button the button lewis don't have
Unfortunately, it seems to be broken now.

Joleyn is brilliant, I’m glad he’s on the Formula 1 team now he gives great insight. We would love to have him on our podcast.
I love how jolyon explains everything we ever wanted to know this series is sick
These guys are World Class distracted drivers! Amazing talent and fearlessness.

Fun Fact, Yuki Tsunoda looks at the stering wheel much more regulaly than other drivers!
fun fact, yuki tsunoda is actually standing up while in the car
@@juda815 with a stool!
Fun Fact: Yuki Tsunoda is Japanese
@@juda815 it's in his direct field of vision, he has to lift the eyes to see the road as he is smaller 😅
Already seen too many explanations on how the steering wheel works but it's always great to watch a new one
Super interesting! Having to handle those when driving is just mindblowing.
5:28 Even in 2021 we are still finding ways to clown Pastor Maldonado😂
This video makes my non-existent G29 feel like an inadequate purchase now.
I bought it 2 weeks ago it‘s pretty nifty, although not comparable to Direct Drive wheels, but for beginners its nice also you dont have to spend 2 grand on it
@@kre4ture218 Yeah but you can spend half a grand on it and have it break right after warranty expired.
Maldonado: ''Hmm let me see what I'm going to order to eat for after the race''.
I get it, f1 drivers are allowed to text while they drive their normal cars
Only if there are only predictable well adjusted drivers on the road ...

Thanks for this series I'm trying to learn more about f1
That is truly amazing what the drivers need to keep straight to optimize their lap time.
Would you like buttons?
YES PLEASE
Mercedes f1 TH-cam: I am 4 parallel universe ahead of you
Im liking this series. Keep it up F1
The steering wheels are just so beautiful. I want one for my F1 2020 so bad, I drool when I see the Fanatecs.
- Where's Karma?
- Karma has something to do with the former F1 driver.
- PALMER!
Lool
This is more complicated than I thought...
Love these types of videoa love how technical the whole car is but love to know what the steering wheel buttons does
I can't even fiddle around with all those buttons in any of the F1 games without crashing. It's amazing to me the drivers are able to do it while driving all out, while wearing a helmet, and having sun glare in their face IRL.

When your teacher says the exam is easy
Palmer has really found his home...
As a Presenter. Happy for him☺️☺️
Kimi: Hey Give Me Steering Wheel!
Someone tell him to Give Me Steering Wheel!
I think this makes Hulks comeback even better
I just realized that Alonso is driving for Palmer's old team
If your memory isn't that of a goldfish, it was Palmer who drove for Alonso's old team.
Palmer: if you don't know where the switches are, you're going to be looking pretty silly
George Sakhir FP: so I uh......, how to turn of the car?
George Sakhir Qualifying: Bono, which button tho?
he's probably using lewis's steering wheel, adjusting to a different layout may be harder than starting from scratch
I'd love to hear an interview with living legends like Prost or Mansell if they could handle those buttons on the steering.
I love how the two engineers are just sitting in the background
This is as close to a F1 car, Palmer will get to now.
"Where is karma ?"
"Hey, hey, steering wheel. "
"Palmer !"
this is the bets looking steering wheel looks so neat!
I wanted to say that moving from a team to another will take some time to get used to the new steering wheel because of muscle memory but he mentioned at the end about Danny Ric

Fewer buttons*. You can't have "less buttons", unless you start chopping buttons up into parts of buttons.
I agree with you but it was from the question in abu dhabi 2014
"You don't wanna look silly"
*Cuts to Maldonado*
Explained nothing, just mentioned a bunch of things without explaining what they are. If you already know everything about F1 this is a great video.
People kept asking where's Palmer? But nobody asked how's Palmer? 😔
Thanks to Kimi, I can hear the title just by reading it ❤

Quite customisable then, interesting. Wonder what most people use the top paddles for.

I heard it's mostly used for when the cars are in a standstill. you can imagine it like a hand clutch.
Its clutch for the start of the race

Nicely explained
