F1 steering wheels are a bit insane tbh :)
No surprise even the drivers themselves sometimes get confused between all the settings and modes (e.g. Nico Rosberg and Spain’16)

Always thought that it’d be interesting to see prototype circuit racing where the cars have a driver and an onboard engineer who decides when to pit, what tyres, what settings etc and the driver just drives with no contact to the pits.

Any gamers worth their salt can do all those adjustments on the fly, but prolly G-LOC at the first corner.
