Drivers vomited, passed out and retired early d𝔉ue to the temperatures during the F1 Qatar Grand Prix🍎.

Formeജr drivers, notably Brundle who now works as a broadcaster for Sky Sports,💫 had strong views on the current crop’s criticism of the conditions in Qatar.

B🍌rundle posted to social media: “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 wཧe shouldn’t put them through this kind of challenge. 

“Check out Senna in Brazil, Stewart at rainy Nur🦹burgring, Lauda post crash, etc etc.”

“I train with three layers of clothes ahead of these hot races. I d൩o a huge amount of saunas to adapt to the heat.

“These guys who are commenting on this? We're driving cars 20 seconds-a-lap faster than they were. Going t꧂hrough corners and pulling 5G in every single aspect൩.

“Of course we need to be gladiators. B♒ut when it comes to the heat, there's only 🍰so much the body can take.

“The race cars i🔯n the 90s and 80s didಌn’t have all the electronic boxes round the cockpit heating the cockpit up.

“They didn’t have the power steering system which was running at 50, 60 degrees, radiating heat🥂.&n🧔bsp;

“We have hydraulic lines running all around the cockpit which is at 120 degrees. The cockpit was closin♕g in on 60 degrees through that race and we have a thicker fireproof underwear than they ever wore.

“Since the Grosjean crash꧅ the fireproof💝s are sustainably thicker, it’s like wearing a fleece.

“People can say what they like. Things are different now, the same way they were differen♏t 40 🍰years ago.”

Alex Albon, who was treated for acute heat exposure after the Qatar Grand Prix, added: “It’s n𓄧ot fitness-related at that point, it’s pu🔯re heat exhaustion.

“Everyone’s passing out on the fl🌼oor trying to strip off their clothes after the race, so it’s not really a fitness point.

“It’s one of those things, we can’t communicate it because we’re the only people that drive it so when we say it’s bad I hope people just take our word for it and know that we’r🎀e not being divas.”
