F1 | Sainz on the forced break: "It creates a lot of problems for us, especially for the neck"

The pause imposed due to the Coronavirus epidemic is also causing difficulties for Formula 1 drivers, who have been out of action since the end of February, but they have not been subjected to the stress of a Formula 1 Grand Prix since December 5st. Inevitably this creates problems for regarding the physical condition, which will never be at its best when the traffic light finally turns green. At the moment we should leave on the weekend of July XNUMXth in Zeltweg, but everything is still up in the air. Carlos Sainz, McLaren driver spoke about the difficulties that a driver is facing and will face in this period of forced break.

“It creates a lot of problems for us, especially for the neck – Sainz admitted. As much as you might try to train it at home with harnesses or something, it's impossible to generate the G-forces you feel in the car. The circuit they choose for the first race will greatly influence the way the drivers try to approach it after so many months of inactivity. Zeltweg is not one of the most difficult circuits, but we will suffer in the fast corners. If the first race had been Hungary or Singapore, many would have risked collapse at the end: people cannot imagine the stress the body goes through during a Grand Prix, and the only way to get fit to drive a Formula 1 car , is driving a Formula 1 car."
