Haas F1 rookie 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Oliver Bearman has revealed he has noticed some key changes168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史: Lewis Hamilton has made to his Ferrari steering wheel.

Bearman, a Ferrari young driver who is about to compete in his first full F1 season with Haas, said he has spotted “a few interesting things” that Hamilton has decided to tweak on ꦿhis nღew SF-25 car. 

Seven-time world champion Hamilton made a blockbuster switch from Mercedes to Ferrari over the winter and the steering wheel was one critical area of🎀 focus to help speed up his adaption.

“First of all, Lewis in the Ferrari, that was re♉ally cool. And seeing how much he’s changed on the steering wheel, for example, is something that caught my attention,” Bearman is quoted by .

“On his Mercedes stee🎀ring wheel, the DRS button on Ferrari, it’s neutral. So, I think he moved a few things around just to save things. But when changing, even me, when🥂 I went to Haas, just moving things around compared to what you’re used to is important.

“I can imagine after [more than] 10 years in the sa🍸me car, you build up 🙈some habits.”

Bearman, who made a one-off cameo for Ferrari last year as a substitute for 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Carlos Sainz in Saudi Arabia, admitted he is a “nerd” when it comes to n🐲oticing such technical details.

“⛎I knew he would change a few things on the ste🌌ering wheel,” the Briton added.

“It happens every year, and I was more out of inte꧒rest watching what changes he’s made. Just like my🙈self, I’ve done some changes on the steering wheel at Haas.

“It’s just an interestꦕing thing, and I’m a bit of a nerd on that side of th♕ings.”

Speaking about his acclimatisation at Ferrari last week, Hamilton acknowledged that the steering wheel was one area he has h꧑ad to adapt to after 12 years at Mercedes.

"It's rare that you jump in, and it just fits," he explained to media including mahbx.𒉰com. ”For example, the steering was completely differen꧑t. Everything.

"All the switch settings are completely different. The software is different. Everything. I am adapting to a car that's made quite differently to what I've worked with in the past."
