FIA to conduct analysis of Qatar GP extreme weather conditions
During the 2023 FIA Formula 1 Qatar Grand Prix, several drivers struggled with the intense humidity, resulting in health issues. Logan Sargeant retired early due to dehydration, while Alex Albon suffered from acute heat exposure. Lance Stroll and Esteban Ocon experienced symptoms such as fading in and out and vomiting. This led some drivers to suggest that Formula 1 had reached its limit in acceptable conditions. The FIA has released a statement acknowledging the impact on driver well-being and expressing their intention to provide recommendations for future extreme weather situations. They will discuss various measures, including guidance for competitors, improved cockpit airflow, and potential changes to the calendar, at the upcoming medical commission meeting. The FIA aims to prevent a repeat scenario and ensure the safety and health of the drivers.
