    Not to take anything away from his driving..............he is an incredible driver.

    I have seen many shots of him to confirm this observation. Has anyone else noticed this?

    This may overtake the "fat chicks in a Ferrari" for the stupidest thread EVER.

    Why don't you post a pic of YOUR head????

    I don't know how tall he is, be it's probably because he's so short it looks disproportionate.

    EDIT: He's 1.71m, 68 kg --- which is 5'7", 150lb

    Hey Alan, lighten up. Not every thread has to be serious. I posted an observation that I made, that is all.

    If it offended you, then I apologize.

    I think his head looks big because he doesn't have much of a neck, lengthwise. (I'm sure those muscles are quite developed from all of the g-forces that he must withstand)

    Not really... I'm 1.75m tall (5'9"); same as Michael Schumacher and Kimi Raikkonen. Pretty average in terms of the height of most racing drivers.

    If you want to see a really small driver, then Sato is a good example: 1.63m (5'4")

    Examples of a very tall drivers are Button and Coulthard, both at 1.82m (6'0"), and Webber at 1.84m (6'1")

    Is that Schumey smoking a cigarette in your avatar? Is that the work of Photoshop?

    It's a photo of Schumi smoking a cigar. No photoshop involved.

    height has nothing to do with it. DC's melon is too big for even his 6'1". But who is to say what is right. They are very lean people, and the head does not change its size like the body, imagine norm from cheers if he wasn't such a fat bastard.

    Hehe DC's huge jaw probably slows his laps times by 1-2 sec..........

    The person with the biggest HEAD in F1 is Montoya, although not physically......
