Scuderia Ferrari SF71H

Kinda looks like that there is another smaller button under the silicone on both sides.

How does this button work? Is it from the pressure of the thumb base? For pressing it do they need to grip the wheel hard?
Why is it even in that position? Why not a conventional one?

Is steering wheel cover forbidden? If Ferrari is hiding something on steering wheel wouldn't be easier to put some cover over which would then be thrown out on start (like foil from helmet visor), rather than putting yellow ice bags on camera?

I think they don't want the camera to show other components of the car, not only the steering wheel.
E.G. the rear part of the car, the engine and so on.

It's pressed with thumb, not too much pressure is required based on videos of launch. Position is interesting, could be the lack of room in other places on the wheel, without making completely different PCB.

Is it used during the start?
Yeah seems u don't need too much pressure for pressing it, oddly the button looks like a hard press button from its look.

But why do they need an extra button? Manual deployment of energy? (I don't know if it is even allowed)

They release it at soon as the lights turn out at the start.

Turning vanes are changed, for how long I don't know. Help!

[MtthsMlw]

What was changed? To me they look like launch spec.

[Vanja #66]

This is launch spec



Very different. The ones we see here could be for Monza only, they aren't as draggy as launch spec. At all.

[garyjpaterson]

Yeah i don't think they have changed at all.

[MtthsMlw]

This is from Hungary. I don't see what you mean

My bad, tired eyes and wishful thinking

Nono, they still changed some details.
