1 Display: LEDs that light up from the center to the edges show me when RPM is increasing. The number in the center of the display indicates which gear Iʼm in. To the left and right are fields for various internal messages. The three lights to the left of the FIA show me whether the yellow or red flag is being waved by the track marshals.
2 N: Pressing the N button puts the car into neutral.
3 D: The D button activates my drink dispenser. To avoid dehydration, Formula 1 drivers have to drink a lot before and during the race, particularly in hot regions such as Malaysia. Most of us use electrolyte drinks; some prefer fruit tea or simply water.
4 Pr: This is the Problem button. I use it, for example, if I hear strange noises. This creates an entry in the telemetry log and helps our engineers to identify the cause in post-race analysis.
5 Diag X: This stands for Deactivate sensor. This button allows me to turn specific sensors on and off, or switch to a backup sensor. During the race, over 100 sensors are used to record data. (See also 10 Diag Y).
6 BB: This displays the brake balance (BB), in other words, the distribution of braking power, of my BMW Sauber F1.08. More power is usually applied to the front wheels. But you can adjust the balance depending on the circuit. The BB control allows me to do this during the race.
7 Ack: All settings made with the Diag X and Diag Y buttons have to be confirmed. This is done using the Ack (= Acknowledge) knob
8 Box: This warns the team that I will be coming in for a pit stop/to refuel during the next lap. This button is particularly important if I lose voice contact.
9 BP: This abbreviation stands for Bite Point. The button can only be used when the car is stationary. It is used to set the desired point at which the clutch engages.
10 Diag Y (see 5 Diag X): Sensors monitor parameters such as remaining fuel, engine and oil temperature, and tire pressure and temperature.
11 R: Stands for Radio. The track marshals can follow the details of voice radio contact between drivers and our team. Encrypted communications and wireless data transfer are prohibited.
12 BO: The boost button allows me to activate maximum engine power. Formula 1 experts are currently debating whether energy generated during braking can be used via a boost button on the driverʼs steering wheel to briefly increase engine performance by about 82 hp for up to 6.6 seconds per lap.
13 PL: Stands for pit-lane limiter, which restricts speed when driving in the pit lane. Pressing this button once activates a preprogrammed speed (roughly 50 mph during races and 40 mph during training). Pressing it a second time disables the function.
14 Preload: This knob allows me to select the differential lock. This prevents the drive wheels from turning at different speeds when traveling over different surfaces, i.e. if only one wheel has traction.
15 Entry: This knob determines the point at which the differential lock engages when entering a bend.
16 Exit: This knob allows me to determine the point at which the differential lock engages when exiting a bend.
17 Cruise: Is short for cruise control. This control lets me select a constant speed. I only use it during testing.
18 RPM: Stands for revolutions per minute. In Formula 1 racing, this is limited to 19,000 by means of a governor. The upper limit for a standard petrol-driven car engine is between 6,000 and 9,000 RPM.
19 TYRE: Activates the rear light and informs the system of the diameter of the tires. DRY is short for dry weather. The abbreviation RL means the rear warning light will be activated. INT RL lets the system know that intermediate tires are being used, XTR RL means extreme-weather tires.
20 CLU: This stands for Clutch. This control allows me to select one of 12 points at which the clutch engages. The clutch is made of carbon-fiber and is a lot lighter than its counterpart in a conventional production car.
21 Fuel: This knob allows me to make the fuel mix leaner or richer. This knob allows me to make the fuel mix leaner or richer. The lower the number on the control, the less fuel the driver uses.
22 Pedal: This control determines the relationship between the travel of the gas pedal and engine output.
23 Paddle: Located beneath the steering wheel, these paddles let me change up (right) or down a gear.
24 Clutch lever: I activate these two levers using my middle finger
