Don't know about F1, but in many other racing series the use of antifreeze is forbidden. Just normal water with a minimum of additives (to stop corrosion or give it color to see leaks)

Could this weather be too cold for the drivers? I certainly would not want to drive my cabrio in these circumstances....

My convertible has trouble hitting the 288 (but only with the top down :-) ). Sure it will be a bit cold but the biggest threat is crashing the one and only car you have ready for testing.
