Sebastian Vettel is still complaining about the buttons and foreshadowed a pilots strike

Since he began the season, Sebastian Vettel has been one of the pilots more critical with the excess of buttons on the steering wheel of cars. The arrival of the mobile phone rear spoiler and the KERS has added two important buttons to the usual. Now try to find the appropriate button when you go to 300 kilometers per hour is a bit trickier. Something that does not seem logical and without a doubt it is a security issue for pilots. Where do those flyers from the 80's with only two buttons?.
If the situation is agudizase dangerous way, I think that we would have the strength to impose our decision
This could be a personal complaint of Vettel, but bearing in mind that the German is one of the three representatives of the pilots within the Association of pilots, the GPDA, their complaints may rise a little more and have more value. While in these complaints Sebastian Vettel has come to declare that if the situation does not change, the pilots will be raised to strike. A sufficiently strong and clear cry as the FIA taking letters on the matter quickly.
There are several options, so far as to not run if a dangerous situation has not changed. We are going to talk to the International Federation to find a reasonable solution, before finishing in a strike

For Sebastian Vettel too many buttons and controls in steering wheel


Too many buttons and too many distractions for the pilot. sebastian vettel is very clear with this, and although it is not a rigorous topical news (has a few days), it was chambered in to comment a little more in-depth. The news of last week was that Vettel was criticised on the one hand the KERSand the large number of controls on the steering wheel, which would make driving difficult "as if he were speaking by mobile phone".
To this there are two reactions, at the moment, part of David Coulthard and Mika Hakkinen. Both pilots try to Polish Vettel statements saying that on the one hand Hakkinen, taciturn: "I don't think that it's a problem".

On the other hand, David Coulthard grants:
is clear that it will be difficult, but This is F1, the elite of the motor sport. Sebastian is a great pilot and will be able to succeed even with everything else. Formula 1 is a technological sport
It is interesting to see how young pilots criticize the botoneria and the number of shares in the cockpit that needs to be done, beyond the "simple" fact of staying focused on the steering wheel and the brake and accelerator. In addition to the radio, the drink, the distributions of braking and more traditional things, now you have to activate the mobile spoiler and the KERS.
It would be less funny, for me, that Schumacher and Barrichello, or even Trulli quejasen it, but do so Sebastian Vettel, with his age, seems to me significant that there is something that some pilots may miss, as it is that their successes depend on more than his piloting that ability with the buttons. It can be that we (or I in particular) give too many laps, and may myself be of those who love a Formula 1 engine by gross benefits, but enjoys listening to engines with manual transmission, with latencies between marchas… But this is Formula 1.
