"  01. BOOST \u00BB F1 cars have an electric-hybrid system known as KERS (Kinetic Energy Recovery System) that regenerates braking energy, then boosts acceleration\u2014at the push of a button\u2014via an 80-hp electric motor. Another feature that increases speed is the movable rear wing that flattens to reduce drag. The wing is controlled by a foot pedal. 02. LAP TIME 03. HARVEST \u00BB Regulates the amount of energy &amp;quot;harvested&amp;quot; during braking. The regen system can alter the feel of the brakes, and because these guys drive with exacting precision, they&amp;#039;re picky about tactile feedback. This knob lets them customize.  04. DOWNSHIFT PADDLE  05. MIX \u00BB Adjusts the engine&amp;#039;s air\u2014fuel mixture to balance power and fuel economy. F1 cars don&amp;#039;t refuel during a race, but economy is still vital\u2014fuel adds weight.  06. BITE POINT \u00BB The race start is critical because the cars begin from a stop and the initial sprint is a prime overtaking opportunity. The bite point adjusts how the clutch engages as the drivers release the paddle, so they can execute a perfect launch. 07. BPF \u00BB During practice starts, the driver uses the &amp;quot;bite point find&amp;quot; to record the clutch behavior. Engineers use the data to instruct the driver where to set the bite point dial.  08. CLUTCH PADDLE  09. BBAL \u00BB Displays the front\u2014rear brake balance, a critical adjustment that drivers make to fine-tune the braking performance. Most passes are done in the braking zones. 10. REVERSE GEAR  11. SHIFT LIGHTS  12. LIMITER \u00BB Restricts the car&amp;#039;s speed to the pit-lane limit, 62 mph.  13. ENGINE PARAMETERS  14. UPSHIFT PADDLE  15. TORQUE \u00BB The 2.4-liter V8 revs to 18,000 rpm and delivers north of 700 hp. That&amp;#039;s a handful in a 1400-pound car, so the drivers use this knob to adjust the engine&amp;#039;s torque curve, depending on track conditions.  16. TYRE \u00BB Teams use roughly half a dozen different tires that vary in construction and diameter. This dial tells the computer which tires are fitted so it can calculate wheel speed.  17. CLUTCH PADDLE  18. DIFFERENTIAL \u00BB Thanks to electronic controls, the characteristics of the rear differential can be tailored for corner entry, midpoint and exit\u2014each with 12 settings. Frankly, we&amp;#039;re amazed that the drivers can detect such minute rear-end differences during cornering events that last for maybe a few seconds. But that&amp;#039;s why they&amp;#039;re paid millions. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
