Why do F1 drivers take ice baths?
An F1 race typically lasts 1.5 to 2 hours, during which drivers can lose nearly 4-5 kilograms due to intense G-forces and extreme temperatures in the cars.

This helps drivers rapidly cool their core body temperature, reduce inflammation, and speed up muscle recovery for the next event.
