Question
What happens when F1 Drivers need to urinate during a race.

Answer
Dear Hudson,
Sorry for my tardy response, have been abroad for a few days.When an F1 driver needs to go, they go (in their car, in their overalls). There is no discreet bottle or compartment to pee in. it very rarely happens that they need to though, as you will see before a race starts, the drivers often rush away for the grid for a last bit of bladder-emptying relief!

Expertise

I`m a big F1 fan and have been since the early 80s. I read weekly European specialist F1 press and keep on top of what`s happening in F1, such as results and testing, team politics, what drivers are saying etc. I`m especially a follower of the French Prost (formally Ligier) team and am also involved in karting and sports car racing in England.

Experience

Writing accounts of the performance of the (then)Ligier team during Grand Prix meetings. Organinsing karting competitions for 300+ drivers and of course being an Allexperts Formula One expert
