Sirotkin’s secret weight routine
At the beginning of the season I noticed that Sergey Sirotkin would always come into the Williams garage already suited and booted with his helmet on. So I did a bit of investigative work to find out where he prepared before getting into the car.
It transpired he would weigh himself on a set of scales in the back of the garage, because he was meticulous with his diet to ensure he was always at the optimum weight.
In the Williams garage in Austin, they had their engine cowlings hanging up on the back wall which makes for a very retro feel, while Sirotkin is on the scales measuring himself before practice.
