Why is he in the car??!
I know two pro athletes who had sars2, "pushed through" while sick and played their basketball games at the time and are no longer able to perform at that same level, basically career over, so I just get paranoid now when I see someone doing this kinda of thing. Luckily not a widespread phenomena so hopefully he will be ok but better to recover before pushing like that.ScuderiaLeo wrote: ↑16 May 2025, 18:12I assume drivers would rather throw up in the car than not be in the car at all. They love racing after all. And they have an obligation to their team.
Yeah it's not ideal of course. Unfortunately the pool of good F1 drivers is so small and the logistics of switching drivers is difficult and usually means sacrificing points.. so I don't think a flu would be enough to warrant sitting out even if the fever is high.deadhead wrote: ↑16 May 2025, 18:21I know two pro athletes who had sars2, "pushed through" while sick and played their basketball games at the time and are no longer able to perform at that same level, basically career over, so I just get paranoid now when I see someone doing this kinda of thing.

According to FIA documents, they did bring modified rear duct geometry
Yea i said it in the discord, shame theyre showing strong race pace on a track thats hard to overtake on that tends to have drs trains
The F1 doctors are not great imo because they do this all the time and let the drivers do this but I guess it has been working fine so whateverScuderiaLeo wrote: ↑16 May 2025, 18:26Yeah it's not ideal of course.

I can't remember which race but I remember one last season where Norris was extremely sick and you could tell in his interviews.
High fever is different than an upset stomach. High fever absolutely drains you physically and mentally. I doubt a driver could do a full race distance with any kind of high fever. In fact, I'd actually say it'd be very dangerous to even allow it.ScuderiaLeo wrote: ↑16 May 2025, 18:12I assume drivers would rather throw up in the car than not be in the car at all.

This is such sad reading...
