TECH TALK: A close look at the cooling solutions the teams are using to counter the heat in Hungary

So in this week's free Tech Talk preview, watch Sam Collins and Craig Scarborough take on the topic of cooling, and how the teams have taken varying approaches to opening up their cars' bodywork to deal with this unique issue. Of course, more cooling increases drag, bringing up another dilemma for the teams.

Watch the video in the player above to see the ingenious ways teams are cooling their cars for Hungary – and switch to F1 TV to see the full 44-minute feature.
