Jules Bianchi is on a race to slim down ahead of his formula one debut in Australia this weekend, while Nico Hulkenberg won't use contact lenses anymore.
The Ferrari-linked Frenchman secured the Marussia race seat at the eleventh hour, after contracted Brazilian driver Luiz Razia's sponsorship money failed to materialise.
Speed Week reports that 23-year-old Bianchi has been put on a training and diet regime to shed 2 kilograms.
Jules Bianchi admitted the weight loss is "because of the weight distribution" of his 2013 car.
"Now there's only salad for lunch, which should help, even though I am hungry all the time," he said during an interview for French television.
On his end, Nico Hulkenberg has arrived in Australia for the first race of 2013 with a clearer view than usual.
Switzerland's Blick newspaper reports that the Sauber driver, previously a user of contact lenses whilst at the wheel, has over the winter had his eyesight corrected with laser therapy.
"I had no problem with contact lenses," the 25-year-old German confirmed, "but this makes things easier."
