What do F1 drivers see on the steering wheel display?

F1 drivers see a wide range of real-time information on their steering wheel display during a race. This helps them make quick decisions and manage their car effectively.

The display shows essential data such as telemetry readings, lap times, position, and race status. It also provides details on tire wear, fuel level, and engine performance. Drivers can customize what they see based on their preferences and race strategy.

• Telemetry data — engine temperature, oil pressure, and other vital stats.
• Lap times and sector times — to gauge performance and spot improvements.
• Race position and timing — current standing and gaps to other drivers.
• Tire and fuel information — wear levels and remaining fuel for strategic planning.
• Race alerts — warnings about mechanical issues or rule infractions.

This high-tech display is a crucial tool for drivers to optimize their performance and respond quickly to changing race conditions.
