The FIA has said it🐻 will consider changes in the wake of ꧒the race.
"The FIA no💖tes with concern that the extreme temperature and humidity during the 2023 FIA Formula 1 Qatar Grand Prix had an impact on the wellbeing of the drivers,” it said in a statement.
"While being elite athletes, they should not be expected to compete under condiꦦtions that could jeopar⛎dise their health or safety.
"The safe operation of the cars is, at all times, the responsibility of the competitors, however as with other matters relating to sa𒀰fety such as circuit infrastructure and car safety requirements, the FIA will take all reasonable measures to establish and communicate acceptable parameters in which competitions are held.
“The FIA has begun an analysis into the situation in Qatar to provide recommendations for future situations of extreme weather conditions. It should be noted that while next year’s edition of the Qatar Grand Prix is scheduled later in the year, when temperatures are expected to be lower🍸, the FIA prefers to take material action now to avoid a repeat of this scenario.
“A number of measur🉐es will be discussed at the upcoming medical commission meeting in Paris. Measures may include guidance for competitors, research into modifications for more efficient airflow in the cockpit, and recommendations for changes to the calendar to align with acceptable climatic conditions, amongst others. Research from other series, such as cross-country events in extreme climates, will be examined for potential applications to circuit events.”
