Martin Brundle weighs into F1 driver safety debate after extreme conditions at Qatar GP
The FIA has vowed to take ♍action after several drivers required medical treatment after racing in temperatures in excess of 30 degrees, which🐻 coupled with high humidity, made for a gruelling race in Qatar.
Drivers were stretched to their physical limit amid conditions that McLaren’s 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lando Norris called “too dangerous”.
168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Logan Sargeant retired due to feeling unwell, while his Williams teammate 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Alex Albon and Aston Martin’s 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lance Stroll were both seen struggling to get out of their cars in 🍷parc-f🥀erme.
Albon was treated at the circuit’s 𝓰medical centre and Stroll sought help from an ambulance after nearly passing out in the race and suffering from blurreꦡd vision.
Alpine’s 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Esteban Ocon said he threw up multiple times inside his helmet and other drivers including 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:George Russell reported꧃ experiencing dizziness and dehyd𝓡ration.
In a post on X (formerly Twitter), Brundle said the extremely-challenging🔯 conditions showed why the drivers are “heroes”.
"Impressive to watch the F1 drivers cope wit🏅h those conditions in Qatar,” the ex-F1 driver w𝐆rote.
"I’ve been that hot in a Le Mans/Dayton24/F1 car🦂, you can get delirious at the wheel, and when the adre🅰naline subsides and the heat soaks you just can’t get away from your own body it hurts so much.
"It’s🔯 races like Qatar and very rainy days which🧸 make F1 drivers look the heroes and athletes they are.
“Absolutely don’t buy into the weak view weꦕ shouldn’t put them through thi🌼s kind of challenge.
“Check out [Ayrton] Senna in Brazil, [Ja♐ckie] Stewart a🌃t rainy Nurburgring, [Niki] Lauda post-crash, etc etc."
