F1 Star Reveals the Brutal Truth About Going to the Toilet During a Race

Formula 1 will return this weekend with the United States Grand Prix.

McLaren star Oscar Piastri has revealed what really happens when nature calls during a race.

This weekend, Piastri will continue his charge to win the Formula 1 world title at the United States Grand Prix.

As things stand, the Australian holds a 22-point lead over teammate Lando Norris.

The McLaren pair had a slight coming together during the opening lap of the Singapore Grand Prix, where Piastri was far from happy with Norris's move.

Looking ahead, it has been revealed that Norris will now face 'repercussions' for the remainder of the campaign.

Although an F1 race could fly by, sometimes the drivers may need the toilet in the middle of a Grand Prix.

As they can't really afford to step out of the car for a quick toilet break, Piastri has previously revealed the only solution.

The 24-year-old confirmed what many of us probably suspected - that the only option really available to F1 drivers who need to go to the toilet urgently is to go in their race suits while they are still driving around in their cars, though he has confirmed he has never done that despite needing to go.

Speaking to Sky Sports F1, Piastri said: "If you need the toilet in the race you don't have many options to you.

"It's not unheard of for drivers to go in their suit. Personally, I've never had to."

He added: "Well, I have had to but I've never followed through with it.

"There's not much you can do. Some drivers are able to go in their race suit which is a bit gross, but if you gotta go, you gotta go."

Meanwhile, seven-time F1 world champion Lewis Hamilton recently revealed that he sometimes could smell another driver farting.

He said: "Sometimes when you're following someone and you smell the worst smell.

"You're like 'Someone ahead definitely farted'."

To which Carlos Sainz replied: "Unless you are in Las Vegas and you just smell weed all the time!"
