Verstappen responds to Russell on cooling vests debate

Max Verstappen has reignited the debate over Formula 1 cooling vests, responding to George Russell with a tongue-in-cheek comment about taking him to the sauna.

The cooling vest debate has resurfaced in Formula 1 during the Malaysian GP weekend. Two years ago, discussions took place about making these vests mandatory, with the FIA initially open to the idea. However, after strong opposition from several drivers including Verstappen, the proposal was ultimately abandoned.

Verstappen, who was already against mandatory cooling vests, responded to Russell's comments with a lighthearted remark, suggesting "Maybe I should take him to the sauna!" The Dutch driver's response has brought renewed attention to the ongoing discussion about driver cooling measures in extreme conditions. h-doctor.club
