    It is no different than what is required of an astronaut or pilot--train train train. Lance should know the function of every control in his sleep. Perhaps he is asleep?

    A driver chooses exactly where he wants the buttons. Colours, function and so on. These things are like second nature to them. The steering wheels may look complex but in reality they are very straight forward once you know what the functions are. The less important things are harder to access

    The boost button (KERS override) on last years' Force India was located close together, it's unlikely for teams to mess with steering wheel layout too much as it's fairly pointless, but lets assume Stroll has the two buttons on the same location (anything more than that would make his mistake ever harder to explain for him, really!). I've marked out where their Boost and Radio buttons are...on the picture it may look insignificant but if you hold up your keyboard as if it was a steering wheel, imagine the Escape button is the radio and the Boost button is the 1 or Q key (roughly the same distance as on an F1 wheel). It's a significant stretch. Image Unavailable, Please Login

    I would have expected the human factors experts to be heavily involved in the layout/functionality of the steering wheel and also in developing a training programme around it.

    It’s operation should be second nature; I think they call it muscle memory?

    Perhaps it was a genuine mix up for whatever reason!! Let’s see what happens at the next race!

    If it happens once yeah that's excusable, no one would care...but he must've kept pressing it/complained about it for them to point it out, lol

    Or maybe Team Radio noticed him pressing it but nothing was coming out from him AT THE SAME TIME engineers/telemetry noticed he was'nt using his energy store then deduced the obvious.

    Image Unavailable, Please Login F1 steering wheel is a non event compared to the Classic 747....the panel on the right is for the (now defunct )Flight Engineer, Yes you need to know where everything is and what it does! It has been known for Pilot's to experience 'finger trouble' which is a little embarrassing however not broadcast to millions of viewers.

    Please don't give Lance the idea of being an Astronaut..daddy can you get me into NASA? :rolleyes:

    Baku 2019--> FP2 he binned it all by himself.

    In his defense @bas, he probably got one of the buttons on the steering wheel crossed. Hey, it happens.:rolleyes:

    I live in hope!!!!

    There are other investors and far better drivers who could have that seat who would probably be getting points for the team...Ocon for example!
