Com a devida vénia para o Mario Pires que no site do GPLPT chamou a atenção para este artigo, leiam com atenção (é longo...) o que aqui está escrito....

tomem atenção particularmente a este extracto, sobre os volantes...
"Unique to Ferrari is an "<span style="color:yellow">overboost" button that provides <span style="color:yellow">additional, short-term RPM when overtaking another car. A standard feature is drive-by-wire, which means that the steering wheel is not physically connected to the steering system of the car, but instead uses computer controls to steer the car in the desired direction.
<span style="color:yellow">The advanced state of F1 cars is shown most clearly by a "memory" function that is used by most F1 teams. As Sauber's Rampf explained, a driver can store a complex car setting, including differential, traction control, engine braking as well as wing settings for each curve of the track. Once such a setting is stored, sensors in the car are able to recognize that curve the next time the car comes around. Electronics monitor certain data such as G-force levels to identify a specific curve and then apply stored settings instantly.
In the case of the Indianapolis race, there were 13 curves - which theoretically resulted in 13 different curve settings per car. "<span style="color:yellow">You could floor the pedal in a curve and the car still would not spin off the track, since we can automatically limit the speed through engine braking," Rampf explained. Pretty amazing... "
já não se conduz como antigamente... :confused:
