Still dont know why you think the animation is wrong? He has to embrace his right hand at a steering angle of 180° otherwise he would probably broke his wrist (yes, I know more degrees are possible irl!)... theres different techniques for steering, so only because its not the way you'd steer doesnt make it a less correct animation
That's not the way any Formula 1 driver would steer. It would not work like this. In F1 you have to change gears pretty fast. The driver shifts down with the left shift paddle and up with the right one. So in this case the driver has to upshift suddenly after he steered right.
You can see it in these videos:

Of course it does not make the game worse but I still hope they fix it because it destroys the immersion a little bit. And it would be another nice touch of realism if they could get it right.
