F1, air conditioning on single-seaters: the opinion of Lewis Hamilton
Formula 1 organizers have been studying for months the possible inclusion of an air conditioning system in the single-seaters of the queen class of engines. A cooling system to improve the drivers’ conditions during the most grueling Grand Prix during the season. Already at Zandvoort, F1 testerà the system: a choice that did not find many drivers agree.
Among the naysayers is seven-time world champion Lewis Hamilton: "We are well-paid athletes and you have to train hard to withstand the heat. I do not think we need the’air conditioning in the car, which among other things would probably also make the cars heavier", are the words of the seven-time world champion reported by Formulapassion.
The problem of heat has plagued Formula 1 for years. At last year’s Qatar Grand Prix, U.S. driver Logan Sargeant had to retire precisely because of the great heat, while other drivers such as Lance Stroll and Esteban Ocon finished the race in poor conditions.
