Regarding the contents of vehicles F1 & F1 cockpit

Formula 1 racing series is one sport that is full of risks. They have to drive a car at high speed, to hear instruction constructor team to pay attention to the arena. Oh yeah, and last but not least they need to consider the complex driving. At the helm or cockpit space, so many instruments. Well, if you want to drive a Formula One car, first you have to pay attention to the control room on the steering wheel of a new car is the McLaren MP4-28.

F1 car cockpit is simple, which is constituted upon such a seat, four-point seat belt and was almost entirely made of carbon fiber. All the controls of the car with the ultra-sophisticated multimillion-dollar machine is placed in the circumference of the wheel, and the driver must operate at speeds approaching nearly 322km / h, with a great glove wearing fire-resistant.

1. Green button 'N'
Let's start with an easy one. The big green button labeled N is for neutral instructions. We may never see it all in our car, and the keys are very useful for the F1 drivers who want to go back to the pit stop.

2. Green button '+10'
green button '+10' is used by the driver when he saw the data in his car, the key to open 10 pages at a time. There is definitely a lot of data on that car.

3. Red switch
at the edge of the wheel, the red switch that can be rotated and labeled with the number on it is the switch for the transmission of the car. This button allows the driver to adjust transmission settings the car quickly, adjusting the grip of the car and adjust its strength.

4. Red lipstick
This is not a technical term, but the red button that looks like a lipstick is actually a radio switch. This tool is used by the driver to talk to colleagues in the pit stop.

5. Yellow button labeled "OT"
Our discussion is getting interesting. Yellow button labeled "OT" is the key used to improve the performance of the engine will now be used to overtake other drivers. This button is usually operated in conjunction with DRS and KERS, we will discuss it later button. OT stands for "take over".

6. White button marked 'X'
button that appears likely to have advanced functionality, but it is actually the 'X' white only serves to receive and activate the driver data page. Disappointing.

Now we are in the heart of F1 steering wheel.

1. Green button '+1'
button allows the driver flipped dashboard feedback data pages one by one.

2. Yellow button 'P'
key is the pit lane speed limiter. By pressing this button, it will degenerate to the speed of the car to avoid sanctions 80km/jam speed when driving in the pit.

3. Green switch
Switch reads this number is used to control the Kinetic Energy Recovery System (KERS). This button is used to store kinetic energy as electricity and can be used for extra performance on the car. Racers can determine how much energy is saved by a car this button.

4. Red button
This button is used to control the Drag Reduction System. The system moves the rear wing to reduce air resistance and increase speed on the straights. But do not forget to restore the system at the next corner or the tire wall on the outskirts of the track as well.More control buttons on the top right side of the steering wheel F1.

Now we are down to the right side of the steering wheel F1 McLaren.

1. Blue button labeled 'confirm'
button is used when the engine noise blocking your hearing when communicating with colleagues, because at that time the same condition as when you fend off kamikaze lunge 241km/jam of Michael Schumacher. Pressing that button could mean that the driver has confirmed that he has got the message without having to talk.Maybe the key can also be labeled 'not now' ... or something else.

2. The "drinks"
Driving a F1 car is making thirsty work and the button can relieve the thirst of the racers. The key can be issued in a matter sepermilidetik water.

3. Tire key
large button that looks impressive at the bottom of this picture is a button to set the function of the tire. Riders customize these buttons to tell the computer what tires mounted on the car so it can change the settings appropriate.

The bottom of the MP4-28 steering is relatively small in the lower left and has the following functions.

1. Purple buttons 
purple buttons at the bottom left of the steering wheel looks harmless enough but this is a multifunction button and set more than 50 different settings on the car.Starting from the display on the dashboard to the engine parameters.

2. Logo Mercedes-Benz 
McLaren's Button was reminded about who makes their car engine.

How, is enough to know, right. Is it all pretty and finished covered? Should think twice, because there are many more in belakang.Keluar of sight behind the wheel, drivers still have the paddle shifters to change the transmission, the button that gives the KERS power boost and clutch, even if only used to power the car.
