Fernando Alonso finished the 2023 F1 Round 18 Qatar GP in 6th place. In addition to the hot conditions, we also had trouble with the seats getting hot. Alonso complained that his seat was hot during the race and asked for water to be poured on him to cool the area, but was not allowed to do so. “I think both Lance[Strol]and I struggled a little bit with the temperature in the right seat,” Alonso said.
“I almost got burnt in the first 15 laps, so I asked over the radio if they might throw some water or something on me at the pit stop.” Teams cannot add fluids to the car. Because it adds weight, it might be used as a way to circumvent minimum weight limits. Fernando Alonso: “It was extremely hot conditions today, probably the toughest race I’ve ever had. We also had an issue with the seat getting really hot from around lap 15, so it was a pretty tough race.But we were competitive.” I was happy to finish 6th, even though I haven’t been able to pick up the pace in the last few weeks.I was 9th in Monza and 8th in Japan, so I felt like I was in the fight for the top here.Maybe. As a sport, we can think regarding what to do if we are faced with such extreme temperatures once more in the future.”
