How do F1 drivers drink while driving?

F1 drivers use specially designed systems to drink fluids safely during races. These systems are built to allow drivers to hydrate without losing focus or control.

The main method involves a drink tube connected to a sealed water bottle inside the car. Drivers can access the tube via a nozzle or mouthpiece, often mounted near their helmet or within reach of their hand.

• The system is designed to prevent spills and distractions.
• Drivers typically activate the system with a push or squeeze, releasing a controlled amount of fluid.
• The equipment is tested and secured to withstand high G-forces and vibrations.
• Hydration during races helps drivers maintain focus and physical performance.

In-race hydration is a small but crucial part of driver comfort and safety at the highest level of motorsport.
