The Italian daily La Repubblica declared it to be the fastest air conditioner in the world.
According to sources, the goal is reportedly to protect drivers from the kind of intense heat exposure that caused several drivers to experience health problems during the Qatar Grand Prix last year.
The device will supposedly be tested at the Dutch GP following the summer break. It appears that the test will use tiny tubes around the cockpit that direct cool air toward the driver.
The reports have now been verified by the FIA, and an official has stated that should these tests be successful, the FIA will require the installation of an active cooling system whenever a heat advisory is issued in the future.
In response to a question regarding the proposal in Hungary, where temperatures also skyrocketed over the course of the race weekend, seven-time world champion Hamilton said, “First of all, I was unaware of that. It’s also not required.
This is Formula 1, with the greatest driver in the history of the sport added. This has always been the case. In these situations, it is difficult. We are also very well-paid athletes.
In the end, Hamilton added, you’ve got to train your *ss off to make sure you can endure the heat. And it’s difficult. It’s not always simple, particularly when traveling to countries like Singapore and Qatar.
However, I don’t believe the car needs an air conditioner.
