Mercedes has brought in outside help to deal with the challenges of this weekend’s Singapore Grand Prix.
Toto Wolff has disclosed that Mercedes brought in a NASA doctor to assist with managing the challenges of the Singapore Grand Prix. Singapore’s Marina Bay Circuit is known for high temperatures and unique session times, making it one of the toughest races of the season. Drivers often face temperatures exceeding 30 degrees Celsius and grapple with heat and humidity throughout the weekend. The night race format of the Singapore GP prompted Mercedes to enlist a NASA doctor to help regulate the team’s sleep patterns. Despite the time difference between Singapore and central Europe, teams like Mercedes maintain their European time zone, resulting in unusual sleep schedules to cope with nighttime racing. Wolff emphasized the importance of staying physically and mentally fit in such conditions and highlighted the NASA doctor’s role in structuring sleep plans to support the team’s well-being during the demanding race weekend.
