Massa's lost part of his wing and has pitted on lap 17

Barrichello has pitted on lap 18. Running light or an early pit?

 

[Flibster]

£40K for a steering wheel, last time I heard they were 10 or so, didn't realise even the wheel had become that more advanced.... impressisve(ly scary)

They can control the fuel mixture, traction control, brake balance, and half a dozen other things from it. Plus the LCD display that can show all sorts of info amongst other stuff.

Complicated things. I like the old ones. A round wheels with a bolt to hold it to the steering column.
