Is there a way to map a button or knob on my wheel to control Downforce?

I would like to control with a button or knob on my wheel increasing or decreasing Downforce. Is there a way to map a button or knob on the wheel to control also Downforce just like we do BB or Diffe...

@GCAdventure Maybe in 2 years there will be when the regulations allow for that during a race😄

Currently in the real world they can only change a flap on the rear wing midrace to change the downforce on the run - but its used to reduce drag/downforce as DRS - a function to modify downforce per need isnt allowed in real F1 and thus neither in the game, just the DRS.

In 2 years with the new regulations however the DRS will get more extreme and also exist for the front wing as of now and is possibly usable in more than just DRS zones but maybe all straights/parts of the track the driver feels comfortable in, would be an on/off button though and again at the earliest in 2026

I dont think you know what setting Im talking about it. At the MDF blueish window menu where you control tire and repair options on next pit stop, there is also an option to increase/ decrease Downforce manually. It would be nice to have a button mapped to do it more easily.

  I don't believe that is an option. You need to select your downforce pitstop adjustments in the MFD menu before the stop - I don't think you can hotkey it.

  Ah yes i know what you mean, choosing a change in front wing angle for the next pit stop, nothing that will change on the run but only with the next pit stop.
  As @BauerFormulaOne said its not an option to keybind.
