Schumacher calls it the Constant Steering Radius system - does anyone, perhaps some of the team drivers, have any pictures of how the setup looks like or works?

From the pictures, I'm guessing they've moved the pivot point of the bellcranks to the front of the car right into the bulkhead and the draglink is actually behind the pivot point? If this is the case, the bellcranks actually pivot in the same rotation as the steering knuckles.

Are my guesses correct or is it some other feat of engineering genius?

Thanks in advance.
we don't have any close up's that are better than on the schumy site, but your guesses are about right,hard to explain without having the car there,
