F1 drivers are due to face extreme conditions at the Singapore Grand Prix this weekend.
The FIA has issued a heat hazard warning for the Singapore Grand Prix as temperatures are forecasted to exceed 31°C over the weekend. This poses a dilemma for drivers who must decide whether to wear a cooling vest or add weight to their cars. Following a race in extreme heat in Qatar in 2023, the Driver Cooling system was developed to help drivers cope. George Russell tested the vest at the Bahrain Grand Prix, acknowledging its benefits but suggesting room for improvement. While not mandatory this season, FIA regulations mandate compensating for not wearing the vest by adding weight to the car. This will be the first time the FIA has declared a heat hazard since the term was introduced this year for the event in Singapore.
