Williams je Robert Kubica after the summer break - finally - donated new steering wheel. Because originally it was supposed to Poljak got this at the beginning of the season, but until monze his wish was not realized. “I got it a little later,”Issued Kubica, which from Monza onwards performs the car with a new steering wheel. “The difference is that the two buttons are on the left and not on the right. In addition, I have an extra pedal on the left.”Because of his severe accident on rally in 2011, his right arm is very limited, making it almost all buttons on the steering wheel located on the left. But why did it take so long?
"If the car is as slow as it was at the beginning of the season, then it’s hard to justify improvements that only help one racer,”He explained Dave Robson, chief engineer at Williams. For example, if you had a choice between "new steering wheel or new front wing“, Then it would be a witness sports situations it’s hard to opt for a steering wheel that would only benefit you Kubica. "Of course, that didn't help Robert. Unfortunately, however, it was a compromise that we had to take into account,”He explained Robson in terms of the new distribution of buttons on Robert steering wheel. “It is now much easier for him to access all the features. We can see that Gerorge makes a lot of changes to the steering wheel during one lap. The new steering wheel now also helps Robert."
Above all, it has that too psychological effect. For in terms of net lap time, there is very little benefit here. Kubica he now has six more races to reach another by the end of the season resounding result. For as is well known, it has Poljak decided to leave the team after the end of the season Williams.
