I don't think cooling will work because it is too heavy to have a refrigeration unit to cool the drink, and ice will rapidly melt because bottle is in a thin aluminium package kind of like a kool aid pack and the car gets really really hot due to the pu. I think maybe if the insulate the bottle better with something like aero gel - which is super light, and chill the drink to a slurpee like consistency it could stay cold the entire race.
I heard the drink is a glucose and electrolyte solution, so kind of sweet and salty and unflavored so its not like a gatorade or anything. It probably doesn't help taste when it is hot.
I dont even know how they drink this stuff while having to immediately cornering at like 5G shortly after, I would puke. It's like eating or drinking before a roller coaster.
