What is in a drivers drinks bottle???

Hey guys

what exactlty is in a drivers in-car drinks bottle? I have read somewhere that its not water. I take it that its something very high in electrolytes like gatorade.

Cocaine!

RedBull...

Its mostly a close guarded secret that the teams fitness personell created specifically for each individual drivers physiology.

I remember Jacques Villeneuves fitness guru at Williams saying that it has magnesium in it to help with the toll on the muscles in the arms, its different to anyother sport in respect of the nutrients are to help stop the musles from tiring when cornering and hold the arms straight, rather than say a weight lifter that has to pull to lift, in F1 the arms are for sideways holding when grasping the wheel

Its also to stop dehydration

It certainly isn't Red Bull. Caffeine is on the olymic association banned substances list - meaning it's illegal for F1.

After Adelaide '94 I stopped liking Michael Schumacher. I was finally beginning to think maybe old Michael wasn't so bad when.......



Oh dear.

so thats why we have often seen Schumacher often drinking RedBull ?

Caffeine is most certainly not banned in F1.

I have seen Barrichello, Schumacher, Raikkonen, Both sauber drivers, RedBull drivers, etc... drinking redbull from original redbull bottle so how it can be banned? Lol But who knows what they drink in car??? Somekind energy-drink like Redbull I quess..?

we've seen them drinking from those plastic red-bull branded bottles, with the really long straws, but that doesn't necessarily mean there is red bull in it.

in some book i read, it said something about special concoctions or supplements for the driver with nutrients and stuff.

RIP Jules, never to be forgotten. #KeepFightingMichael

'Caffeine is most certainly not banned in F1.'

Excuse me. I hold a national A racing licence. I happen to have read the rule book.

Allow me to quote:

2005 regulations for use in FIA (Federation Internationale de l'Automobile) recognised forms of motorsport.

Section E
PROCEDURE FOR CONTROL OF DRUGS AND ALCHOHOL
9.1.2.
Doping is defined as:-
1) The use by, or distribution to a competitor of substances contained within section 1 of the International Olympic Committee Medical Code Prohibited Classes of Substances and Prohibited Methods for the time being in force and/or

2) The use or adoption by a competitor of any of the procedures contained within section II of the said code and/or

3) The use or consumption by a competitor of such drugs or substances as are contained within section III of said code... etc.

....................

Basically the important part there is in number 1 which talks about section 1 of the IOC banned substances. Lets take a look at what's in this then shall we?

A. Stimulants
B. Narcotics
C. Anabolic Agents
D. Diuretics
E. Peptide and glycoprotein hormones and analogues
F. Marijuana (Cannabis)

Oh would you look at that!? What is D.? Diuretics. What is caffeine? A diuretic.

My apology please.

Yes, just because something is in a Red Bull flask doesn't make it Red Bull.

Oh dear.

On one of the season reviews i have it has someone from McLaren i think who is making the drivers drinks. He was pouring some powder into the bottle.

And caffeine banned in f1? Thats taking it a bit far.

If its a Diuretics then its not really a good idea to have drivers drinking it when they lose so much fluid in sweat.


Not sure if its taken to that extreme where a driver would be banned for drinking a can of coca cola because of the caffiene content.


Maybe thats a grey area in the regualtions

100% agree with you there, its about advertising for the sponsors, i remember watching an athletics event ( running ) and as soon as the competitors crossed the line they had a paper cup with coca cola on it, now i cant see that athletes would drink cola after a sporting event
