I just came across this video of Jackie Stewart taking us through all of the controls available to the driver in a 1986 car. Now, if you are anything like me, you thought cockpits were far simpler back in those days. Pure driving and all that. Well... just take a look at this.
I hear lot of people saying that today's steering wheels have "too many buttons". Well, maybe the key to fooling people is to put them all BEHIND the wheel instead? It certainly makes it look cleaner. But, I actually quite like the complicated look of today's wheels... as long as they don't take it too far. But, as I was saying, this video has completely the way I look at the older cars. It's funny how we think they were radically different back then, but, at the end of the day, they were actually very similar. What goes around, comes around...
