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. To recover, drivers often take ice baths after races or demanding practice sessions. This helps drivers rapidly cool their core body temperature, reduce inflammation, and speed up muscle recovery for the next event.
