Nico Rosberg admits taking F1 race PILL with astonishing result
Nico Rosberg shared details of swallowing a temperature-monitoring pill before a Formula 1 race during his career. The pill showed his internal temperature spiking to dangerously high levels above 41 degrees Celsius, far beyond the normal mid-to-high 36-degree mark. He emphasized the underestimated extreme heat inside F1 cars, especially in races like the warm Spanish Grand Prix weekend. Rosberg praised the now-provided cooling vests for drivers as a crucial advancement in managing cockpit temperatures, preventing racers from feeling like they’re being “boiled alive.” A recent F1 rule requires teams to implement driver cooling systems if temperatures exceed 31 degrees, reflecting the sport’s focus on driver safety and well-being. Hamilton’s Ferrari radio update and insights from team bosses added to the Formula 1 headlines during the event.
