Why F1 is the real winner of the DAS evolution
In this open letter to Mercedes team principal Toto Wolff, Motorsport.com's F1 Editor expresses his gratitude for the dual-axis steering system, which was a throwback to an age where technical surprises were far more frequent
Dear Toto, I thought I would drop you a line as a follow-up to the genius move of your Mercedes team in thinking of, designing, and setting to work the new dual-axis steering system.
When it first appeared on your car last week during testing, it was hard to work out if it was an optical illusion, or if the steering wheel movement was because something had broken in the car. After all, there was no point getting too carried away if this was a glitch rather than a feature.
