Ferrari steering wheel costs $25,000

I love high-tech! I wonder which is the “Fahrvergnugen” button (at least on Schumacher’s wheel!).

As recently as 1992, the steering wheel on a Formula 1 car was a relatively plain, straightforward piece of equipment, round in shape, with a metal plate at the centre to attach it to the steering column, and generally no more than three buttons – one for selecting neutral, one for releasing liquid through a tube in the helmet for the driver to replenish his fluid levels and one for the radio.
