  • FWIW - A claim about driver urination

    For whatever it's worth, a claim about urination.

    How does a Formula 1 pilot urinate whilst racing?

    Historically they used to just let loose in the car as there was no time
    to stop. This led to teams continually losing good crew members who
    stated they signed up to work on race cars, not clean up another manrCOs urine.

    This lead to teams developing a catheter system for the driver in the
    early 2000rCOs. The suit has a built in catheter that the driver installs
    and then the suit has a hookup to a reservoir in the car.

    When the reservoir gets full, there is a discharge system that sprays it
    into the exhaust. The heat of the exhaust instantly vaporizes the urine. ItrCOs had little to no impact on the race with only a few drivers
    mentioning an unpleasant smell from the car in front of them.

    It gives an unfair boost to those who piss more. Should be considered as
    extra fuel !
