I was reading that F1 drivers have to withstand really high temperatures consistently during a race and don’t have A/C. How come they’re hot if there’s wind coming at them really fast throughout the entire race?
In: Physics
Many reasons actually
1) most of their bodies are actually inside the car, not exposed to the elements
2) they wear a few layers of protective gear
3) they sit really close to the engine, the temperature inside the car can get upwards of 50c
4) physical stress on the body while driving at such speeds
5) outside temperatures also have an impact
