German Formula One driver Nico Rosberg has revealed that he will be wearing a woman's sanitary towel on his forehead in order to battle the scorching conditions in the upcoming Malaysian Grand Prix on Sunday.
Rosberg believes that Malaysian Grand Prix at Sepang circuit is one of the toughest on the calendar because of the intense heat and humidity.
The Mercedes driver said that he has an issue with his eye when he sweats a lot so that is what the headband is for.
Rosberg further said that he has sort of a headband in his helmet, adding that he puts a woman's sanitary towel on his forehead inside his helmet to take up the sweat, the Mirror reported.
Currently, Rosberg trails reigning champion Lewis Hamilton by seven points as he finished second in the season opener in Australia.
