F1 steering wheels are a bit insane tbh :)
No surprise even the drivers themselves sometimes get confused between all the settings and modes (e.g. Nico Rosberg and Spain’16)

“…Brake Migration (BMIG) setup, adjusting how the car’s brake-by-wire system adjusts front-rear braking balance on the fly.”

Always thought that it’d be interesting to see prototype circuit racing where the cars have a driver and an onboard engineer who decides when to pit, what tyres, what settings etc and the driver just drives with no contact to the pits.

I thought DRS automatically closes when you brake?

It can be manually closed too

Yes, DRS automatically closes when the brake is pressed. But it is advisable to manually close the DRS so that the car is balanced well before it enters the corner.

Any gamers worth their salt can do all those adjustments on the fly, but prolly G-LOC at the first corner.
