George Russell lost 4 kg in a single race, and he never left his seat. 🥵
Singapore 2024: cockpit temperatures above 60°C, humidity up to 90%, two full hours of racing and up to 5G in the fastest corners. Drivers can sweat out around 3 litres, but the drinks bottle holds only about 1.5.
In Qatar 2023 the heat got so bad that Logan Sargeant retired sick and Esteban Ocon threw up in his helmet. Since 2025, F1 declares a “heat hazard” on hot race weekends and the cars carry cooling vests. Drivers can still choose not to wear them.
💬 Cooling vest or no vest: which would you pick? Tell me in the comments.
