The display.

Looks bigger than McLaren display! Am I wrong?

I really like Williams solution

There's one downside: When you are turning, you can't see the display, because the steering wheel is in the way, whereas steering wheels with a display can be read at all times.

Can it get any tighter than that?!

I think they got it a bit tighter lat year. I remember they introduced this bodywork in Japan:



Last year they tightened it up enough that blisters were needed for the suspension mountings on the gearbox. That being said, this is only testing and they may be running more heat from a more powerful engine.

Those are all same displays. Different steering wheel layouts make them look bigger or smaller for different teams.

When you are turning with speeds they are doing you don't really look at display as you are trying to get as good line as you can.

I think they're the same, in fact I think McLaren electronics make those types of displays as a standard part.

They can't get this tight anymore around the gearbox anymore because they are routing hot air to this part of the car.
Underneath it it's still very tight, look at the shadow under the Mercedes sign.

Great video from Massa in the FW-37 ! Sorry, it´s only in Spanish language.

There might be some situations, when you can read a display in a Williams better than in a car where the display is integrated in the steering wheel

[PlatinumZealot]

Might be good to have both options....

I believe all teams use the same mclaren designed pcu-8d screen as of 2015.

Historically a drivers focus will not be on the steering wheel when s/he is negotiating a bend, so either way is fine.

New bit to the tire squirt area.
