With the heatwave warning hitting Europe, I remeber this idea Bernie had to "spice up" the races.

Perhaps we can use it to cool down the drivers by creating sprinkler tunnels that the cars go through. Like some running events have.

Heres just a small snippet below from 2011.

In an interview last week, Ecclestone, the race series’ president and chief executive said that he wanted to install sprinkler systems on select tracks to enliven spectators’ experiences of the races. A wet track surface would encourage more overtaking maneuvers, he said.

“Overtaking is almost impossible because in the dry there is only one line good for maximum speed because of the rubber on the track,” he said. “We always had the most exciting races in the wet, so let’s think of making rain.”

The proposal was swiftly criticized by some of the some drivers, one namely Webber.
