I figure it's costing him .5 seconds a lap just from sheer mass.
It's costing him half a second in straight line speed, but the handling characteristics of said top heavy barnet can be worth up to 2 seconds a lap, dependant on the nature of the circuit.
I remember when Valentino had big hair, and he was a winner!!!!
I think you're onto something here BH!
I remember when Valentino had a mo-hawk. Bad times.
That's nothing dude. If I find a pic of Nicky with hair that literally looked like a leopard, I'll post. And the worst of all, ever, for any racer in the history of the universe, was when Nicky sported cornrows!
EDIT:Ok, found one. WARNING, save yourself. Click away now. Do NOT look below! (You have been warned).
