It has a steering yoke. F1 cars also have a steering yoke. Are F1 cars not fun and engaging to drive?

It also has steer-by-wire which makes the steering yoke practical as they can tweak the steering ratio to prevent the need to go hand-over-hand. As they did for the Cybertruck.

Steer by wire is fun? How? I think the wheel being directly connected to the road is more fun.

Driving an F1 car is fun in the same way that cycling in the Tour de France is fun. Everything about that experience is purely for function and competition.

I think Louis Hamilton has a lot more fun in his Ferrari F40 than in his F1 car.
