Thundery showers ,inter Monsoon season.

 

It's currently raining on the race track at time of post. Should clear up by mid-afternoon.

 

We also had rain last 4 hours ...dried up within an hour, KL .Was thinking of driving down ..hmm.

 

Seem there are issuing the first ever F1 Heat Hazard alert. Does that mean Virtual Safety Cars or even red flags if it gets too hot. Maybe they could just put a fire truck at Start Finish and hose off the drivers as the cars go by. Certainly there must be better times of the year to run a race here.

 

Heat Alert is an F1 FIA procedure:

The ambient temperature is expected to reach 31C on both Saturday and Sunday, which is the FIA's threshold for declaring a Heat Hazard. Race director Rui Marques notified the teams of this on Thursday.

Now the teams have two options: either their drivers must wear the mandatory cooling vests or their cars must carry more ballast.

Whether the drivers elect to use the vests or not, the rules state that their cars must be fitted with the necessary equipment to make the vests work – specifically the pumps, coolant reservoir and heat exchanger.

Any driver then choosing not to wear a vest must carry additional ballast.

The rules on this are clear: "The difference in mass between the driver's personal equipment normally used and any items of a driver's personal equipment that form part of the system must be compensated by the fitting of 0.5kg of ballast in the cockpit."

 

Is there room in the cars to accommodate that extra equipment ?

So, together the pumps, coolant reservoir (with dry ice) and heat exchanger weight 5 kg, NOT 0.5 kg !
