We have answers! Thank you all for sending in your #f1askus questions. We'll be running this again, so keep them coming - if we haven't answered yours, we'll try to answer as many as possible at future races...
What's on your playlist? Avinash Shankur
Mark: Pink, Oasis and U2.
Sebastian: A real mixture! I like the Beatles a lot but I also listen to a lot of chart music and bands like Led Zeppelin. I also like sampling local music when I'm travelling. I was listening to some Indian music last night and of course I like some German music.
What's the drivers favourite pre-race meal? Adam Goh, Singapore
Mark: Chicken pasta with vegetables.
Sebastian: Pasta with chicken and some vegetables.
What do you do off the track? When not racing. Relene En Conradt Croukamp, Kempton Park, Gauten
Mark: I like outdoor activities like cycling and I love taking my dogs for long walks.
Sebastian: I like to do all sorts of things. Here in India I visited the Taj Mahal. In Japan I did a bit of karaoke.
How do you make sure that the cockpit is not flooded during a wet race (especially when the race is slow during safety car)? Is there a hole at the bottom? Kai, Germany
Ciaron Pilbeam (Mark Webber's Race Engineer) Good question. Luckily the car doesn't get too wet. There's a small screen at the front of the car and over the driver's head which diverts water away from the car itself and everything inside the car is made to be waterproof anyway. There is no hole at the bottom but if the car is outside for a continuous period of time then we'll do our best to cover it with umbrellas just to be on the safe side.
This question has been dodging me for ages, but considering my hero [aka Micheal Schumacher] managed it, How do Formula one drivers relieve themselves during a race? Rohan Suresh Mumbai
Mark:I go before the race!
Seb: I go the toilet before the race usually and this is always OK!
