Rosberg Button Used During Cornering

I can't think of what this could be doing, as most every driver operated device has been banned bar brake bias, diff settings, fuel mixes etc. None of those should be button operated during cornering as far as I recall, for instance where they might be doing something related to torque limiting, or engine map changes in any way. Confused...

Is it possible to have specific brake bias or diff setting on a button rather than a dial, for example, or are the adjustment mechanisms legislated for in the tech regs?

He's just using it in a very different way to what I would expect. For the most part Rosberg uses it from the apex to the exit curb, then releases it as soon as he exits the corner.

Hamilton probably does the same - but I'm not sure if it's his Kers or DRS that's pedal operated. He certainly has a different setup to Rosberg that more closely copies his one at McLaren.

There was a thing on formula1.com a few weeks back comparing Rosberg & Hamilton's wheels. Might help with the answer to that. I know they were different.Hamilton probably does the same - but I'm not sure if it's his Kers or DRS that's pedal operated.

Is it just me or does it seem illogical to have the NEUTRAL button so close to the KERS??

Reverse and Neutral can't be selected when te car is in motion. Not to mention that the neutral button has to be on the steering wheel for easy selection by the track marshalls.
