The drink button is actually attached to a lightweight pump attached to an aircooled water bladder for the driver to take a sip from if he's thirsty... remember, they're under several layers of nomex and driving suit, and a helmet... it gets blimmin hot and you sweat under there... they need water to keep a) conscious b) aware c) un-thirsty

Serious question now...

I've always wondered why F1 cars dont run a lower profile. Does anyone know a legitimate answer as to why F1 tires are built as they are. I'm sure with all the money put into research and design that these are most likely the best tires on the planet to put on a car that pull and corners as hard as these cars go. but still........why the "fluffy" tires?

just a question thats all.

The car has almost no suspension..as such the car needs some travel...so looks like it is the tires that do the traveling.

It's got a drink button and no cupholder. Where's the optional hardtop?
That is a great race car.

So does the pump button facilitate taking a piss during the race?

Let me guess, it was in because the air conditioning quit working?

j/k You have to be in good physical condition to drive one of those bad boys. It would be fun, though.
