Ted Kravitz heads to the sauna to try and replicate the pressure on drivers under intense conditions.

Races such as Singapore and Malaysia take their toll on a driver as they battle the physical exertion of racing, combined with searing heat and humidity.

To see how tough it is we locked Ted Kravitz in a sauna dressed in fireproof base layers and a race suit and tested his performance levels by asking him everything from the capital of Peru to what is 45 multiplied by 16.
