Jacques Villeneuve was briefly trapped by the toilets at Milan Malpensa airport as he made his journey to Australia for the F1 season-opener.
The 1997 world champion took to social media to explain how he was "trapped" in a cubicle with security staff unable to free him, initally at first.
To make matters worse for the former Williams racer, the toilets were also automatically flushing every 30 seconds.
In the end however, all was well for Villeneuve who made his escape and continued on his way to Melbourne, where he made his F1 debut in 1996, nearly becoming the first driver since Giancarlo Baghetti in 1951 to win on his debut - Giuseppe Farina in 1950 excepted.
