In F1, drivers usually lower their helmet visors. This is the best way to protect your eyes while spinning at 300 km/h, in the face of any danger. But in The F1 Singapore GP, Lewis Hamilton had to make an exception. The race held annually in the urban layout of Marina Bay is considered the most physically demanding for pilots because of the high temperature (35 degrees), but above all, because of the massive ambient humidity (76%) on a track that leaves no room for error and is very technical. The sum of these factors means that the pilots in Singapore have an enormous challenge for which they have been preparing intensively for several months. That’s clear from what happened to Lewis Hamilton Singapore GP this Sunday.

Just 15 laps in, Lewis Hamilton showed clear signs that he was short of breath when he decided to raise his helmet visor, something drivers don’t normally do for safety.
It was so hot that the English driver felt the lack of air inside the cabin of his car, where the temperature was higher, and inside his helmet, that the one from Stevenage had to raise his visor and adjust its height in seconds as he battled at full speed between the walls of Marina Baythroughout the career.
