Steering wheel bulges

Something I have always wondered about is the purpose of the bulges in our steering wheels at 10 and 2 o'clock.

Is Porsche encouraging us to hold the wheel on the bulges? 10 and 2 o'clock seems too high to me. Or are we supposed to hold the wheel at 9 and 3, and the bulges serve to have something for our thumbs to push against?

Personally, I usually grip the wheel at 8 and 4, palms-up, feeding the wheel from one hand to the other. I adopted this style after reading about Ferrari and Lamborghini test drivers that hold the wheel that way.

What do others think about the purpose of the bulges?
