A heat hazard has been declared for this weekend’s United States Grand Prix, just like in Singapore
The FIA issued a heat hazard warning for the United States Grand Prix in Austin due to predicted temperatures above 31°C.
Teams must comply with the new rule to fit a mandated driver cooling system in such conditions.
These measures were implemented after concerns raised post the 2023 Qatar Grand Prix.
Drivers have the option to wear the cooling vest as per their preference.
Max Verstappen of Red Bull chose not to use it in Singapore, citing discomfort with the design.
However, George Russell of Mercedes, who won the Singapore GP, found the cooling vest valuable for hot races, despite initial comfort concerns.
