That's what we'd like to think, sure.
DC had commented during the F1TV coverage that he was surprised the drivers were feeling ill or much of anything besides adrenaline from racing so the conditions must've really been taking a toll. When an expert on the subject takes note of the extreme conditions that's a red flag to me that something may need a closer look.
Just hypothetically- If they're already peaked out just trying to keep themselves driving because the conditions make them ill, what kind of decision making would we see? To me, Logan looked like a driver in survival mode on the way back to the pits. If he drifts back into the racing line because he's blacking out or delirious from heat exhaustion, what capacity is he going to have to free himself from the car if someone were to collide with him?
It just seems logical to me that if the FiA are going to do things like the halo, survival cell, checking vertical oscillations for high G load, red flags for rain, etc, all in the name of driver safety, then maybe they will look into days like today before something tragic happens.
