The steering wheel is still a best challenge for our Max

He can, of course, a nice game, but how is he with buttons?

Nowadays you need not only to have a wheel able to rotate to an F1 car a little rap about the job hunt, you also have to blind all the buttons on the steering wheel can be adjusted. And there are quite a few. But the touch can do is pretty important, because with 300+ of your eyes of the road to find where the button for the rembalans, is not a good plan. And there is a little bit of the problem. The wheel of the Toro Rosso of Max all of his GP’s has driven, is significantly different than the wheel of the RBR12 where he is from Friday in send. And even though the two cars have the same owner, the steering wheel may not 123 be transferred. And that they are different, you can below see. (via motorsport.com)

First, the new steering wheel:

Stuur RBR12

And this is his trusted wheel:

Oude stuur

In short, the buttons do basically all the same, but they are in other places. Then you can Max the Machine, but you will still need to get used to.

Apart from the buttons, it is anyway a completely different car. On tv at Ziggo’s pep talk said Max the following:

“The Red Bull is more aerodynamic, a little narrower, the position of the seat is different. You must get used to, but at this moment it feels good, I already have the car not yet driven. So maybe after the first training, can I still have a few things to change.”

And that the cars are different, that’s right. First, there is of course the engine. Toro Rosso has one of the Ferrari in the back, Red Bull is powered by Renault. And the RBR12 also has a lot more downforce than his little brother, which in turn has an effect on tyre wear.

Fortunately, Max the last days of the required hours in the simulator, spent, in each case a bit to get used to. For the rest, we will go Friday to see how good he is. You know, I just think that he is going to cop, and at the end of the weekend, the second Verstappen is on the stage. Another wheel or not! #GOMAX!
