How do Formula 1 teams deal with driver injuries?

Formula 1 is a dangerous sport where drivers can sustain serious injuries. Injuries can occur from high-speed crashes, impacts with barriers, or even from the physical demands of driving a Formula 1 car. Teams have medical staff on hand to assess and treat injuries, and work closely with the FIA (International Automobile Federation) to ensure the safety of drivers.

If a driver is injured during a race, the team will assess the severity of the injury and determine whether the driver can continue. If the injury is minor, the driver may be able to continue racing, but if the injury is more serious, they will likely be forced to retire from the race. Teams will then work with the driver to ensure they receive the best possible medical treatment and rehabilitation.

Formula 1 teams also take preventative measures to reduce the risk of injuries. Drivers undergo rigorous physical training to prepare their bodies for the demands of racing, and cars are equipped with safety features such as the halo cockpit protection system to protect drivers from impacts.
