Adapting means putting air conditioner everywhere? Because that is not adapting. I've been to other "tropical paradises". It's the weather I experience in the summer, and I hate it. I can't imagine living all year round in 80% humidity and 34° every day.

As a wrestler, losing two kilos of water in a two hour race is not much. there have been days where I've shed around five kilos in a scorching hot and humid practice room while wearing sweats and layers of shirts and sweaters without water breaks. I can relate to these drivers. It's tough as hell!

[@sergioserrano4167]

Yet, these guys are sitting the while time lol pretty impressive to lose 3 kilos of water while sitting.

Sergio Serrano This is not NASCAR, do more research, F1 is more than sitting. Check their training, their cockpit, the focus they need to not press the wrong button. Also the cockpit is not a nice place to sit in, really small.

[@RidleyPhantom]

CaptainAKG I think his main point was the fact that they are sitting as opposed to wrestling and still shedding kilos, not that all they do is sit

Well, I don't think that counts as abandoned in the official stats. If full points are awarded, the race is just called complete

[@Eisenherz]

Bianchi T-boned a Force India? You need to check your facts back. He aquaplaned and hit a vehicle that was removing the car of the extremely gifted driver that goes by the name of Adrian Sutil. I know that the conditions were adverse at the time...and I my memory isn't the best but I think at that moment there was either a safety car on track or they were under yellows. Still what happened happened. I don't blame Sutil for Bianchi's death but it's undeniable that Jules would have never died if Adrian had not spun off track. Whether he did that due to extreme speed (just like Bianchi) or not is something I never really have bothered to check.
