Doesn't fit in the car:saywhat:


The German-language Speed Week, and Italy's authoritative Autosprint, report that the Australian has been at Milton-Keynes for a seat-fitting in the 2014-spec RB10.

Designer Adrian Newey is known for his tight-fitting cockpits, and the packaging is reportedly even more problematic for 2014 given the new turbo V6 and 'ERS' regulations.

And while Ricciardo is slightly shorter than his Australian compatriot Mark Webber, the European media reports reveal that his hips are slightly wider than Webber and world champion Sebastian Vettel's.

:cry:

Does the FIA regulate the size of the cockpit? Could they be sued for discriminating against drivers with different body types, especially future female drivers? only half kidding.

Safety tip: "wide hips" is not a safe google search. ;)

Or they could make accommodations for his butt and hire him anyway.

At least they didn't say that he has "a fairly wide stance".

Sounds like they had to Mansell the car for him.

I'm not sure 1994 Mansell would get more than one leg into that Red Bull.

If this is how they pass the torch in Australia, no wonder he doesn't fit in the car. ;)
