Ex-F1 driver Alex Wurz, who is t🧔he chairman of the Grand Prix Drivers’ Association (GPDA), says that🍃 every team should be looking into producing ‘cooling seats’ to help regulate body temperature and limit the negative impact on the human body. 

A number 𒈔of drivers reported feeling unwell, dehydrated and even experiencing fainting episodes while taking part in Sunday’s 57-lap race, which was held amid 🐬high humidity and temperatures exceeding 30C. 

Some even had to seek medical attention afterwards, with Williams driver 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Alex Albon treated for acute heat exposure. His teammate168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史: Logan Sargeant retired from❀ the race because he could no longer cope with the conditions. 

Aston Martin’s 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Fernando Alonso revealed he had been bu🧸rned by his seat due to the extreme temperatures inside the 🅠cockpit. 

Wurz insisted this is an issue that goes beyond fitness.&n𒈔bsp;

"It's too easy to say: 'Here is a gym membership - get on with it,'" Wurz told BBC ไSport. 

“Th▨ere are multiple contributing factors which need to be understood by everyone.”

"My initial thoughts revolve around lesso𝐆ns from other categories which have shown heat as a limiting factor for dr⛄ivers.

"Cooling seats, for example, work very wꦫell and are not too difficult to produce and install.🌊 That is something every team should already be looking at.

"There needs to be better insulation and/or air cooling for very hot electrical boxes, which are often sited near the drivers' seat, or in the future reroute hot hydraulic lines, so the 🎐driver's seat environment is not overheating.

"The entire rules set has tests and limits for many parts of the car. Given the driver is one of the performance parts of the equation, perhaps itꦛ is time to look at defining limits to the heat they are subjected to.”

Tougher fire protection standards for F1 racesu✤its were implemented prior to Romain Grosjean’s fireball crash at the 2020 Bahr🐟ain Grand Prix. 

Wurz admitte🍷d one of the drawbacks of the updated firesuits is that they offer reduced breathability. 

"They cook you,” he explained. “I recently test🍷ed a car while wearing the new mandatory fireproofs, and I was shocked how hot I was.

"Of course those fireproofs are here for a very good reason and I am not suggesting a return to lower fir🉐eproof꧂ing standards, but for those who are not aware what is happening, that is one of many contributing factors."
