It is generally accepted that the internal temperature of the human body should be around the mid-to-high 36 degree mark. &#13;<\/p>\n<p>\nRosberg hailed the cooling vests that drivers are now given, a big step forward in controlling temperatures inside the cockpit as racers are borderline boiled alive in their cars. &#13;<\/p>\n<p>Rosberg: F1 drivers face extreme heat<\/p>\n<p>\nSpeaking on Sky Sports this weekend, the German ex-racer said: \u201cWe always underestimate how difficult it is for the drivers in those cars, the asphalt is almost 50 (degrees Celsius) and you are sitting on the asphalt.&#13;<\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cI once swallowed a pill to measure the temperature and it registered 41 degrees Celsius. That is extremely high fever where you almost go to hospital.&#13;<\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cThat&#8217;s what the pill measures. It&#8217;s extreme heat in there and it&#8217;s so incredibly tough. Now the drivers have these cooling vests and that helps massively.\u201d&#13;<\/p>\n<p>\nA rule was introduced for this season whereby F1 can declare a &#8216;heat hazard&#8217; if temperatures are above 31 degrees, which obliges teams to fit a driver cooling system to their cars. &#13;<\/p>\n<p>\n<b>F1 RESULTS TODAY:<\/b> <a title=\"Verstappen and title rival post IDENTICAL times as Hamilton suffers at Spanish Grand Prix\" href=\"https:\/\/www.gpfans.com\/en\/f1-news\/1051413\/f1-results-today-spanish-grand-prix-2025-practice-fp1-fp2-times\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Verstappen and title rival post IDENTICAL times as Hamilton suffers at Spanish Grand Prix<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tRelated\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Nico Rosberg has opened up on the details of a pill he swallowed ahead of a Formula 1&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":145193,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4103],"tags":[8051,4199,16204,707,4200,4277,12,79,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-145192","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-f1","8":"tag-chris-deeley","9":"tag-f1","10":"tag-f1-news-gossip","11":"tag-formula-1","12":"tag-formula1","13":"tag-gpfans","14":"tag-news","15":"tag-sports","16":"tag-uk","17":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/114599071804738046","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/145192","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=145192"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/145192\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/145193"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=145192"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=145192"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=145192"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
