If you're a car sports fan who enjoys Formula One races, you've probably wondered what the inside of a racing vehicle looks like.
For such an intense sport, the steering wheel can't look anything like the ones we see in our regular vehicles on the road, can it?
Thanks to a Reddit video on r/Damnthatsinteresting, sports car fans can now see what all the buttons do inside an F1 vehicle - and the complexity of it is overwhelming people.

The video takes viewers through each of the buttons on the steering wheel from left to right, briefly describing the function of each one.
On the left side of the wheel, you have buttons like the DRS button which activates the 'drag reduction system,' the N button for putting the vehicle in neutral gear, and Entry Rotary which allows for 'corner-entry differential adjustments.'
Towards the middle are multi-function dials that control the car's settings like radio and display brightness.

Furthermore, the right side of the wheel has a Talk Button for the driver to communicate with the pit wall.
There is also a Mark button so the driver can put a mark on the telemetry, a PL button for holding the pit lane speed limit as well as a PC button for when the driver enters the pits.
The post was only shared less than 24 hours ago and the forum is already filling with over 500 comments and questions from fellow Reddit users.

Most replies are users' surprise at the amount of buttons available and the intricacy of each one.
One Reddit user described the steering wheel as the 'world's most dangerous and complicated Bop It! ever created.'
'That's so much more complicated than I imagined. Do they still have to use their feet for gas, brake, and clutch? Is there a stick shift still? Or is everything on the steering wheel these days?' another said.
Meanwhile, one person simply asked: 'But where’s the horn?'

To which a knowledgeable expert replied: 'It’s lower than you can see in the vid. Right between the leg rests on the seat.'
Other users, whilst not fans of the sport or the vehicles expressed value from the newfound knowledge, like: 'I now have full appreciation for this sport I never cared about thanks to this.'
