The FIA has vowed to take action after several drivers requi🐬red 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”.

In a post on X (formerly Twitter), Bru👍ndle said the extremely-challengingဣ conditions showed why the drivers are “heroes”. 

"Impressive to watch🗹 the F1 drivers cope with those conditions in Qatar,” the ไex-F1 driver wrote. 

"I’ve been that hot in a Le Mans/Dayton24/F1 car, you can get delirious at the wheel, and when the adrenaline subsides and the heat soaks you just can’t get away from your own bodyꦕ it hurts so much.

"It’s races like Qatar and very rainy days which make F1 drivers look the heroes and athletes they ꦬare. 

“Absolutely don’t buy into the weak view we shouldn’t put them through this kind of challenge. &nꦬbsp;

“Check 🐷out [Ayrton] Senna in Brazil, [Jackie] Stewart at rainy Nurburgring, [Niki] Lauda post-crash, etc etc."
