Shane van Gisbergen led the calls for better heat protection in the cockpit following the three practice sessions on the streets of Newcastle today.
"It's crazy. If I wriggle my toes I'm touching the firewall. They extended the cabin bit, so that cabin bit is further into the engine bay now. Hopefully they let us do something." "We can’t just ignore it. I went and spoke with the majority of drivers and there’s a handful saying ‘yes, let’s do it’; there’s a lot saying ‘we’re fine, we don’t need anything’.
"It was something on our agenda to discuss after the event, how everyone fared, but we’re happy to bring that forward.
