"As predicted, the weather conditions were very hot but no more so than those experienced in Australia just one week ago. The ambient temperature was never below 30°C but the cockpit temperature exceeded 50°C and unlike Melbourne the humidity was over 70%."

"The Formula1 driver experiences accelerations of over 4g and must be able to control his car while being subjected to these loads. His seat and all his controls are tailored to him personally and he is strapped in using a 6-point harness. Without heating or air-conditioning, cockpit temperatures can exceed 50 degrees C, and when it rains he gets cold and wet."
