Aston Martin: Burning F1 seat that hurt Alonso a work in progress
During the sweltering Losail race, Fernando Alonso experienced a burning pain in his seat and asked his team for a solution. Team principal Mike Krack explained that the burning seat issue is a recurring problem that they are trying to fix, and it was worsened by the extreme heat in Qatar. The team couldn’t provide immediate relief for Alonso, but they have been working on resolving the issue. Krack mentioned that the hot seat is caused by the hydraulic lines and ECUs heating up and their efforts to isolate the seat from it. Alonso mentioned that he felt the burning sensation within the first 15 laps and requested water at the pit stop, which unfortunately was not allowed. Despite the seat issues and a track limits penalty, Alonso finished sixth in the race.
