The FIA has pledged an investigation into the conditions faced by drivers in the Qatar Grand Prix
Fernando Alonso believes that the safety changes made after Grosjean’s accident in Bahrain worsened the heat issues faced by drivers in Qatar. The combination of long stints, high G-forces, humidity, and lack of wind contributed to extreme conditions at Lusail, with drivers experiencing health concerns. The FIA has started an investigation, but Alonso thinks that the improved fire-retardant gear worn by drivers after Grosjean’s incident prevented them from sweating in Qatar. Alonso also suggests implementing a safety tool from the World Endurance Championship to manage temperatures in the cockpit. He feels that the conditions in Qatar were too extreme for racing, and there should be a discussion about setting limits in Formula 1.
