🤝 F1 Paddock Sportsmanship Rule

Under extreme track conditions (>35°C track temp), modern F1 cars sitting stationary in pitlane risk catastrophic battery and power unit heat-soak. In the Spanish GP, McLaren mechanics stepped in to assist the neighboring Alpine crew with supplementary blowers, ensuring driver safety and sporting readiness.
