i dun get why f1 drivers like to leave their facial hair on?

its like the engineers design to squeese every little ounce to make things lighter....then there's facial hair.....

why dun they just clean shave and bald?

just saying.....=/

I LOATHE shaving so I can't fault him for the scruff. I doubt that hair weighs enough to impact the driving.

First practice

McLaren set the top two times, with Hamilton half a second ahead of Jenson Button.

1. Hamilton McLaren-Mercedes 1:21.134
2. Button McLaren-Mercedes + 0.538
3. Schumacher Mercedes + 0.582
4. Webber Red Bull-Renault + 0.877
5. Vettel Red Bull-Renault + 0.892
6. Rosberg Mercedes + 0.936

Second practice

Red Bull on top
1. Vettel Red Bull-Renault 1:19.965
2. Webber Red Bull-Renault + 0.210
3. Schumacher Mercedes + 0.792
4. Alonso Ferrari + 0.854
5. Hamilton McLaren-Mercedes + 1.226
6. Kubica Renault + 1.237

BTW: I just realized how old am I compared to you guys. I saw first F1 race at Mosport in 1967. I was lucky to see Jim Clark racing live. Next year at Mont Tremblant I got even luckier. I was racing in the morning pre-race events and mat Graham Hill, Jackie Steward, Jacki Ickx, Bruce McLaren … The garages were tents at that time! What a change!

raisemyrent · 05-07-2010, 11:51 AM

total threadjack: are you going to the canadian gp this year?

BudVlad · 05-07-2010, 12:12 PM

I’ll be going to Montreal but I don’t like the track as much as Mosport and Mont Tremblant.
