Perhaps it's the proximity (and similar colour) to the pit button but I do get the point that only the Bentley driver did it. I'd be curious to see the positioning of other cars. I've googled around and even cars of the same model/manufacturer have variants whether they're factory or independent so clearly this is some team or driver preference going on.
He might be the only one who did it but a large part of motorsport is looking at all the possibilities of what could go wrong and then doing whatever is possible to stop that from happening.
I may well be missing something vital as Bentley motorsport have built more race cars than me but if either button had to be in that position surely it would be the pit limiter as the consequences of hitting that by accident are nowhere near as dramatic as hitting the stop button?
It's right below the wipe button as well which would seem to invite problems if the driver need to quickly press that button.
I would love to hear the reasoning from the horses mouth as to why it's where it is as I'm sure I'd learn something.

Watching the support races now. Bathurst is one hell of a circuit. 
It certainly is, as it was originally part of the public highway you can drive it in the reverse direction (makes for an interesting drive) but beware of the local constabulary! Tried it a few years backGassing Station | General Motorsport | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
