[Durango Dude]

Here's a candid interview of Narain Karthikeyan where he admit's that many F1 drivers, actually, urinate in their cars during the race.
Many F1 drivers urinate in the car, admits Karthikeyan - YouTube So next time you get to drive a F1 car that smells funny beware.

fighter pilots use diapers or catheter/pouches for long runs. When you are stuck in a small cockpit and hard pressed for time, last thing you want is looking for a stop for a bathroom break

Given the massive G-forces F1 drivers experience during high-speed braking, it is not unusual that they lose bladder control.

As vivekiny2k pointed out, fighter pilots - another breed who experience even higher G-forces - wear adult diapers. I think F1 drivers wear them too.

So do they have a button for that too?

I mean F1 takes the minutest thing very seriously to get advantages and so maybe....

But i dont really get it. Dont they lose a lot of water via perspiration?

Why just F1 racers and fighter pilots, common folks pee in their pants too especially when they have a Stadium Pal, Portable Urinal, Restroom hooked up. Those amongst you who are stateside must have heard of them, these were all the rage in the late 90s.

This is no news in F1. David Coulthard had his used pair of lucky undies too which were obviously reused

Its not just the G-Forces, its also a human thing to be dehydrated and drinking all that water in the cockpit and urinal will be the last thing any driver will be worried about!
