Unknown control lever, heated seat maybe?

All that has to do with the power train, gearbox, clutch, fuels and lubricants, etc. Generally the mechanical side of Formula One.

Wing warping is a very good way of controlling roll

The downside is that you don't get a very good wing

Radio communications posted by Scarbs would seem to confirm that the brake systems have two types of bias adjustment used concurrently. The normal bias bar at the pedals and the hydraulic proportioning valve, "quick shift" unit.

[00:37:32 Heikki told to go minus 1% brake balance which equals 1 “full turn” on his adjuster. Reminded to only use the “quick shift” balance adjuster for T10. As he examines driver data in the car, told to focus improvement on exit of “last three corners”]

The "quick shift" was designed by Ferrari in 2006, and allowed a three way adjustment of brake bias according to corner entry speed that can be set according to the track.
