Mercedes have created an innovative steering wheel for the 2020 F1 title challenge
On-board footage appears to confirm this at the first pre-season test
Lewis Hamilton's Mercedes team have created an innovative steering wheel which they hope will provide them with an edge for the new Formula One campaign.
During the second day of winter testing in Barcelona, on-board footage captured Hamilton pulling his Mercedes steering wheel towards him as he entered the main straight at the Circuit de Catalunya.
The never-seen-before device narrowed the alignment of the front wheels of Hamilton's Mercedes increasing straight-line speed.
Hamilton then pushed the wheel forward before cornering to improve the car's set-up. Mercedes have called the innovation, DAS, dual-axis steering.
