FIA issue official weather alert at US Grand Prix
The FIA has issued an official weather alert for the United States Grand Prix, declaring it a heat hazard due to forecasted temperatures exceeding 31 degrees Celsius during the event.
This decision comes after the FIA’s analysis post the extreme conditions at the 2023 Qatar Grand Prix, aiming to address similar situations in the future.
Teams are required to fit a ‘driver cooling system’ during a heat hazard weekend, delivering cold fluid through a fireproof vest to combat the high temperatures.
While the cooling vest has divided opinions among drivers, discussions are ongoing on potentially making it mandatory for the 2026 season.
