BMW Sauber driver fears birds of prey

The testing things you’re asked to do when you’re an F1 driver, eh: meet sponsors, sign autographs, drive a car really fast, drink champagne when you’re dehydrated etc. And… hold a falcon. Here’s Nick Heidfeld, doing a half-decent job of pretending that he is cool with being asked to hold a falcon, in some random photo shoot prior to this weekend’s Bahrain GP.

He’s clearly not cool with holding a falcon though. He’s shitting it. You know that as soon as the camera had finished clicking, he shouted ‘Mein Gott! Get rid of ze falcon!’ Or something like that.
