F1 steering wheels have come a long way. They used to be just for turning the car but now they are SO MUCH more.
But how did we get from massive wooden steering wheels to sculpted carbon fibre units with more computing power than your laptop?
Let's walk through the steering wheels from every era or F1.
It may seem funny to us now, but wheels weren’t the first choice by car manufacturers for the apparatus to turn their vehicles. They started off with a lever that looked like a joystick you would play video games with in the 1990s (if you can remember that).
Luckily, they thought of a different way of doing it and the steering wheel was born. There was nothing flashy about the F1 steering wheels of the 1950s - they were literally lifted from the road cars at the time.
They were LARGE, some reaching over 40cm in diameter. That’s similar to what you would find on a van or a truck, and were made out of aluminium for the inner wheel and timber for the rim. They looked beautiful, but this wooden rim did cause some issues, as drivers complained of getting splinters while driving.
The cars of the 1950s didn't have power steering so the large diameter was necessary for the driver to get the leverage they needed to get the car going where they wanted it to. The thin tyres of the day didn’t provide much grip either so the drivers spent most of their time sideways.

Gentlemen, a short view back to the past. Thirty years ago, Niki Lauda told us ‘take a monkey, place him into the cockpit and he is able to drive the car.’ Thirty years later, Sebastian told us ‘I had to start my car like a computer, it’s very complicated.’ And Nico Rosberg said that during the race - I don’t remember what race - he pressed the wrong button on the wheel. Question for you both: is Formula One driving today too complicated with twenty and more buttons on the wheel, are you too much under effort, under pressure? What are your wishes for the future concerning the technical programme during the race? Less buttons, more? Or less and more communication with your engineers?

@@aaronaaronsen3360 yes, I definitely have no clue as to how it works without any (electromechanical) aid. I was just going off from the assumption that drivers might've already drank during the race before the advent of this button. they always drove in great heat (just think about Phoenix, for instance, where the air is also very dry as well). yes, it's extremely strenuous especially inside an F1 car. like 4.5g sidewards acceleration during cornering and another g on top of that under braking is something the untrained person isn't easily able to withstand. g-forces are highest in Formula One; no other series can match with that. in NASCAR, they pull something like .9g in the corners. even street legal cars can top that.

so far, the buttons on the steering wheels have been on-off switches it would be interesting to have gamepad-style sprung 'triggers' with proportional control at the back of the wheels, maybe for metering out the amount of electricity being used by the hybrid system , or for changing some parameter of the vehicle as part of the driving manouevres as opposed to dialled to a fixed setting as instructed over the radio

There is a direct correlation between the size and complexity of F1 steering wheels and the size and density of the drivers 'minerals'. As diameter decreased and buttons/dials/switches increased, there was a commensurate decrease in 'minerals'. Look at the suits of the past compared to modern suits, there is no room. This also coincides with the introduction of lap belts and later full harnesses, the density of the 'minerals' went from near neutron stars to barely marshmallows. BWHAHAHAHAA

4:46 wrong. the clutch pedal just stayed in place. it took them a little while to finally also move it to the steering wheel (it depended on driver's preference with Barrichello being indigenous for refraining from it for as long as possible). formula one never used automatic gear boxes which don't require a clutch, but semi-automatic ones. however, if you now tell me that the '93 Williams had none, I'd even believe that. but that thing was a computer on steroids that only accepted a driver due to regulation mandatories, basically. Prost even had assisted braking during at least some races.

Well by "removing clutch" he probably meant not using it for every shift like they used to, just using it for starts from standstill. They kinda "removed" it.

The first car to have two pedals IIRC was the 1994 McLaren Williams had 3 pedals till I believe 1995 with the clutch only used for starts and pit stops

@@EL1AS_ yeah, could be. ideally, he would've said, they removed the gear stick from inside the cockpit.

@@RANDOMZBOSSMAN1 for that crazy ’93 season, I meant that it's theoretically thinkable, that they, albeit briefly, got rid of manual clutch operation altogether. ya know, what I mean. that indeed a computer would take over control. no strict regulations on assisted driving and progress in lightweight computational power meant that teams, and especially so Williams, stuffed in more and more driver aids. they all got banned for '94 to which Senna himself predicted, that change, when not compensated with other regulation changes as well, will lead to decreased safety.

@@HxTurtle ohhh you’re talking about the CVT when they basically said f gears lol Williams in the early 90s we’re pushing the boundaries of technology I heard whilst the car would have been at least 1 second faster with CVT the engine couldn’t take being at 14k RPM all race and would have probably blown up mid race And Senna quote before the 94 season was serious harrowing. That year Him, Roland died Wendlinger ended up in a coma, Lamy could have been killed at Silverstone in a testing crash, Letho broke his back Alesi injured his neck, Montermini broke his ankle in a crash Verstappen almost got burned alive It was such a dangerous year that year

Why don't they have "heads-up" displays inside the helmets? Having the right information displayed there seems sensible - so the on-car (or on-wheel) displays can display _other_ (less-often-used) information?

I think it has to do with the weight of the helmet. A small HUD wouldn't add much mass, but when you take into account the high G-Forces their head are submitted to, it quickly adds up. But I don't think it'd be that unreal in the future to see this technology appear.
