    Very interesting to see use of three ifferent mamnitino settings while on the track.

    The rain doesn't stop him from driving fast. Notice the LED lights on the steering wheel. The first light doesn't come on until 6K rpms.

    I think he's shifting from SPORT to RACE after taking the turn. I guess he wants SPORT during the turns and RACE on the straight away.

    Almost like how F1 drivers playing with the switches on the steering wheel.

    I dont understand why ferrari put only red leds on the steering wheel. It whould be more usefull to be green..yellow and red to come when you hit last part of the rpm.If you drive you only see red..red...red...and more red...Thats not so helpfull i think

    Good point. I presumed that green/amber/red would be the norm - Italians! ;)

    This guy is just a terrible driver. I could understand switching the manittino in corners with standing water but this guy is all over the place with it. Watch his braking before the cone chicane. He's foolishly (and slowly) using the engine rather than his brakes, missing apexes, etc.

    Ugh.

    He looks pretty bloody awful to me, got to about 1min 50s - engine braking, fumbling with the knobs on the steering wheel and missed apex, then I gave up on him :)
