Gerhard Berger is on the record as having admitted to p155ing his pants when qualifying a turbo F1 car as a result of the G forces. Apparently the mechanics had to hose the car out afterwards.
Unfortunately, the Italian mechanics confused the water hose with the fuel hose, and Berger got pain at Tamburello.Soovy said:

On a (temporarily) serious note. It is common for drivers to piss themselves during races. Zanardi mentions it in his book.When I was mechanicing there was a certain Icelandic driver who couldn't do a 20 minute race without soaking the cockpit! We put a pack of pampers in the car for him before the last race.
Nigel Mansell's moustache and Damon Hill's eyebrow are actually identical twin lesser spotted amazonian poison caterpillars.
Eventually Nigel got sick of all the abuse from vegetarians and PETA supporters and released the moustache back into the wild. It was filmed as a heart warming documentary, but never aired as there was a much more important documentary about Daniella Westbrook's (missing) septum, which was thought to be more in the public's interest than THE iconic facial topiary of the 20th century.
Damon Hill's eyebrow has kept a much lower profile than Mansell's moustache and therefore Damon has not had the unwanted attentions of the raffia tampon mob.

I think they've got a single in the charts ATM. Eventually Nigel got sick of all the abuse from vegetarians and PETA supporters and released the moustache back into the wild.

Gerhard Berger once chucked one of Sennas briefcases out of a flying helicopter.
There were a couple more Berger/Senna wind ups I heard. Including Berger supergluing Sennas credit cards to the hotel coffee table, pasting photos of topless blondes in passports etc.. The best, was Berger allegedly releasing 99 frogs into Senna's hotel room. Berger knowing how anal Senna was, knew he wouldn't stop searching until he'd found the 100th.....Rouleur said:

s, so I see how you could come to that conclusion.
Graham Hill is the only driver to have completed the Triple Crown, as he won the Monaco Grand Prix in 1963, 1964, 1965, 1968 and 1969; the Indianapolis 500 in 1966; and finally the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1972.
