F1 teams to make ventilators to fight virus
F1 teams have agreed to get actively involved in the fight against coronavirus.
Italy's La Gazzetta dello Sport reports that Mercedes, Red Bull, McLaren and Williams have responded to the calls from governments to lend their technological and engineering power to the global pandemic.
"Among the technologies the teams could help develop are lung ventilators, needed to help the most seriously ill," the sports newspaper said.
La Gazzetta dello Sport said the matter was discussed during the rounds of emergency talks between the teams and the sport's authorities this week.
"Since the first races of the season have been postponed, the engineering departments of most teams will be under-used and therefore they can take action to research, develop and produce medical equipment that could help," it added.

Excellent idea!
A little bit of levity won't hurt. I wonder what a carbon fiber and unobtainium ventilator will cost? Do they get to put team logos on them? Will Marko protest Ferrari's design? OK, that's enough. Good on ya', guys.
Being very old and a copd sufferer may i ask ,will they be fitted with TEAM RADIO
(keep breathing we need 17 breaths per minute) KIMI style Leave me alone i know what im doing.Sometimes we have to laugh in adversity
This is great! And if a ventilator can be improved, these are the guys that will do it. F1 is not just the pinnacle of Motorsport. Its the pinnacle of engineering!
