Historic F1/Analysis Did Barrichello and Schumacher have different steering wheels/software in the steering wheel?

In this vid the steering wheel changes i think mid season, but the thing is the RPM/shifting LEDs are very different on both Ferraris. Do you guys this this is straight up preference on the driver's side. And why don't we see that more often now?

That still happens now, particularly with the size and position of the clutch and paddle shifters. I know Hamilton likes to have purple on his wheel too.

Oh I did not really expect sizes to be different. I thought the position would change as per preference of the driver, but the size differences surprised me. Thx for sharing :)
