Only 'interesting' because of the story behind it and how it eventually panned out. Prizes to all who know what it is. Possibly.
Wasn;t it Mclaren's extra brake pedel thingy?
During the season, F1 Racing photographer Darren Heath noticed that the rear brakes of the McLarens were glowing red in an acceleration zone of the track. The magazine discovered through photos of the inside of the cockpit, that McLaren had installed a second brake pedal, selectable by the driver to act on one of the rear wheels. This allowed the driver to eliminate understeer and reduce wheelspin when exiting slow corners, dubbed "brake steer". Ferrari's protestations to the FIA led to the system being banned the following season at the 1998 Brazilian Grand Prix.[1]

How miniscule would your left foot have to be to actually operate the third pedal though? Are you sure it wasn't "toe-operated"?
I do hope not!As most F1 drivers these days are the size of jockeys I presume everything is in proportion.
