On Board videos at Formula1.com

I'm sure some of you already know this, but formula1.com has a collection of onboard videos from the various races available on their website.

The Official Formula 1 Website

You get a full lap with a particular driver for a given track. I just watched Jensen Button's pole setting lap at Monaco.

They even have vids from the 2008 season available as well.

What did Jenson reach for with his left hand just after the hot lap started?

I didn't think there were any adjustments that would require him to remove his hands from the steering wheel.

Dunno, I remember Varsha, et al., saying the exact same thing during qualifying.

That was one hell of a lap tho. I was trying to look ahead and anticipate the throttle/brake inputs and couldn't keep up. Monaco is so tight that it gives you such an awesome feel for the speeds of those cars.

My best guess is that he was adjusting F/R brake balance. I think brake balance is still a manual adjustment.
Here's a list of all the functions on BMW's wheel. You would think that most teams would have similar functionality even if they have different designs.
