The Race F1 Podcast

Is F1 doing enough about driver welfare?

Josh Suttill, Jonny Reynolds and very special guest Dr Chris Tyler join Edd Straw for an in-depth discussion about whether F1 needs to do more to protect drivers, in the wake of the extremely challenging conditions they faced in Qatar - and the extreme reactions those conditions provoked.

Dr Tyler, an expert in human responses to extreme hot and cold environments, from the University of Roehampton, London, has worked with F1 drivers such as Oscar Piastri to help them prepare for races in hot climates. In a wider discussion about the welfare of F1 drivers in the current era, he explains why what happened in Qatar was so alarming and discusses what can be done to prevent the drivers from suffering to such an extent again - without impacting the show.
