Aston Martin says the burning sensation Fernando Alonso felt in his seat during Formula 1's Qatar Grand Prix is a recurring issue that it is still trying to resolve.
Around the halfway mark of a sweltering Losail race, Alonso urged the team to come up with a solution after feeling a burning pain in his seat. 'The seat is burning, mate,' he said on the team radio.
' Alonso revealed that the burning sensation on the right-hand side of the seat already started occurring within the first 15 laps. 'I think for Lance and myself we struggled a little bit with temperature in the seat on the right-hand side,' Alonso said. 'I got a burn in the first 15 laps, so I even asked on the radio if they could throw me some water or something at the pitstop, which apparently is not allowed. So yeah, it was quite extreme.
