Accustomed since he started driving to braking with his right foot, Helio Castroneves will have to adapt to a big new thing in 2012: braking with the left foot. Unlike its predecessor, the Dallara DW12 only has two pedals, the clutch pedal being replaced by a paddle on the steering wheel where gear changes will also be made. “ It's going to take me a little time to get used to it, but that's why we're here testing, the Brazilian from Team Penske had fun yesterday at Sebring, where the development of the single-seaters and engines introduced this season continues. For now, it's fun. It's like a go-kart. The only car I drove while braking with my left foot was during a test with a Formula 1 in 2002. »
