Test run in Zandvoort
Air conditioning? Criticism from Lewis Hamilton
A cooling system for the drivers in the cockpit will be tested at the next Formula 1 GP in Zandvoort. Lewis Hamilton criticizes.
Some Formula 1 stars show themselves on vacation with their scantily clad girlfriends, but in two weeks the summer break will be over again. The heat remains. That's why air conditioning is being tested at the Dutch Grand Prix. Not everyone finds that so refreshing ...
After Logan Sargaent had to park his Williams due to the heat in Qatar 2023, Alpine driver Esteban Ocon threw up in his helmet and Aston Martin driver Lance Stroll even fainted, the FIA decided to take action: At Zandvoort, one car will run with air conditioning in Friday practice.
Criticism from Hamilton
Not everyone is happy about this. "We are highly paid athletes, you have to train hard so that you can withstand the heat," says 39-year-old Lewis Hamilton, "but I don't think we need air conditioning in the car." He probably fears even heavier cars. But if the test goes well, it will be mandatory.
