Firstly this isn't my picture, I took it from the F1 site credit to schlegelmilch photography.
Anyway, I have a replica Ferrari F1 steering wheel, and I remember seeing a close up image of the real one being powered up before a race, all it had on there was lap time, gear and speed, even though it was a big screen. The one I have now has the 3 screens I always wondered what was on the other two, and this picture answers at least one part, but brings up another question. What the heck is all that other crap on the main screen? Ferrari used to have the map like every other team on a stick on label. Now thats computerised. Anyone want to guess the rest? I'm guessing the big 0 is the gear, the 0 above speed. the 352.01 is almost certainly fuel in Litres. Most of the buttons are covered in my guide sheet, although its slightly differant as its a schumi replica and he has more dials on his.
technology is becoming silly, no way they have time to digest that.

That's a fantastic photo Craig.
I doubt the 352.01 is the fuel quantity Craig, even in litres. That's a LOT of weight/fuel in the car.. I'd be surprised if they hold that much on a full tank. My guess is it's the engine mileage/kilometreage, what with the engine rules.
What are the CBC1, CBC2 buttons though?

F1 tanks are huge, I heard in the region of 70 gallons + so if this were practice then who knows, but your probably right, As this was taken I believe just before the start of the euro gp. so last race plus quali distance would be about that.
The cbc ones are engine mapping buttons on the right and power steering/other hydrolic systems. the blue is to do with the air mixture in the fuel, the +/- buttons corrispond with the cbc dials and you can give specific adjustments in hte menus available onscreen. the alice/ferrari symbol dials change the menus on screen.

Not cruise control then?
From a look around the web, the common guess is that F1 cars use 180-200litres per race. Assuming one stop (which is non-linear in race distance) minimum, then around 110-150 sounds a reasonable guess as an average capacity.
