Continuation: Absolutely don’t buy into the weak view we shouldn’t put them through this kind of challenge. Check out Senna in Brazil, Stewart at rainy Nurburgring, Lauda post crash, etc etc

    I don’t think they should race in Qatar to begin with, but if they must - it needs to be moved into cooler months. Drivers will always drive, there is no question of their dedication and desire to take a win, but athletes also shouldn’t be subjected to inhumane competition conditions. How many red flags have gone out because the track conditions were poor? Why isn’t heat taken as seriously?
