Does anybody notice one strange thing with Jean Todt: each his fingertip and nail on both hands wrapped by small piece of plaster. Permanently and everywhere. For example, picture from last race in China - http://www.grandprix...odtyeoh1-lg.jpg. I googled for answer but couldn't find nothing. What do you think (or know) about it?

He chewed too much his nails (nervousness).
So this is good stop-gap measure...

[Ross Stonefeld]

I reckon fingernails

Michelle Yeoh could probabley beat alot of us up, she's a great fighter, I almost forgot, they'll got a fighting machine in the f1 pits now. I say best wife of anyone we've seen in f1.

He has Michael Jackson syndrome.

He sold his fingernails to the devil for GP wins....

It's to stop him chewing his nails. I guess it works for him.

That's hands down the winner (no pun intended)

[davegp3]

He doesn't want to let his fingerprints anywhere, you know, people in Formula 1 are little bit paranoid

[fisssssi]

How can he possibly be chewing his nails when that microphone is always so close to his mouth?

You know what's interesting. If you pick up this months F1 Racing mag. Matt Bishop interviews JT and you'll notice that his fingers are ALWAYS wrapped not just on a grand prix weekend(ie.at the office, etc) I can understand wrapping them on race day because of nerves but at Fiorano answering Bishop's questions seems quite strange. It's funny. Not one exposed finger in the whole spread!!

[JForce]

He moonlights as a professional wrestler. Notice he always has elbowpads and kneepads on too? And when Ferrari loses, I've heard he superplexes Ross onto a table.

Maybe he always paints his nails red and Ferrari's PR department tought that might not make the best impression?

or he's like that famous guitarist (randy rhoads? not sure...) who always wore thimbles because he'd lost the tips of his fingers in an accident, and the bones were very close to the skin on the truncated ends. he even wore them when playing guitar, on the fret hand

I believe that was Toni Iommi from Black Sabbath -Jean Todt, the new Iron Man of F1

[Henrik B]

I can confirm it beeing Tony Iommi.

oops. oh well, I was close to the mark at least
