Max Verstappen Revives Cooling Vest Debate

Max Verstappen has revived the debate over cooling vests in Formula 1, making a comment about taking George Russell to the sauna amid discussions about making them mandatory.

The debate over cooling vests has been revived during the Formula 1 weekend in Malaysia. Two years ago, the FIA considered making cooling vests mandatory after discussions behind the scenes, but the proposal was abandoned following strong opposition from several drivers, including Verstappen.

When asked about the topic, Verstappen responded with a remark about taking George Russell to the sauna, suggesting a different approach to cooling. The Dutch driver was among those strongly opposed to mandatory cooling vests when the issue was first raised. slot-chickenroad.org
