@Bigbiker21 all renaultsport méganes (since the very first one) have an electric water pump to refrigerate the turbo just after turning off the engine.

Well, he's driving the F1 car usually, so driving this car is like driving a go-cart for you, maybe even less exciting.

This was a test phase of megane development, and it that phase they want to take everything to limit, so i dont think he cared about leaving the turbo too cool off.

For everycar even it's a turbo or not , even it's gasoline or diesel after a long drive or a hard drive it's recomended to let the car running at idle for around 1-2 minutes :) safer this way

If I'm not mistaken most turbo cars these days (if not all) keep running the turbo oil and water pumps for a set period after ignition is cut, so there is no need to keep the engine running or for a turbo timer
