The fallout of the heat exhaustion issues suffered by the drivers in the Qatar GP continues to be a talking point in the Formula 1 paddock.
The race was a perfect storm of high ambient temperatures, humidity that ramped up on race day, draining heavy g-loadings through the fast corners, and the one-off tyre rules that turned the race into a series of four sprints, with little respite for the drivers.
“The hydraulics, electronics, they all run very hot,” says Wurz. “The whole package is closer than ever before, and this is a typical effect of racing and F1. And perhaps even the aerodynamics with the halo and the new downforce means there is less cockpit ventilation, and less air going out.“Motorsport itself has certain categories with heat related rules. In the World Endurance Championship, the cockpit temperature has to have a certain limit above ambient temperature that is measured.
