The issue of cockpit heat during the Qatar Grand Prix has become a major concern, as drivers suffered from intense heat conditions, leading to some withdrawals and complaints of faintness, nausea, and heat stroke. The Technical Advisory Committee (TAC), consisting of team technical directors, the FIA, and F1 Chief Technical Officer Pat Symonds, will meet virtually on October 31 to address this problem after the Mexico City Grand Prix. The FIA and Symonds are both working on potential solutions, although it is a complex issue. The use of cool suits, similar to those used in IndyCar racing, is being considered, but the weight of the suits may impact performance. The debate has divided drivers, with George Russell emphasizing the physical limitations of the body in extreme heat, while Lewis Hamilton believes that drivers are well-paid and should train harder. Ultimately, the TAC will decide on cooling measures to implement in the sport.
