The FIA has declared a heat hazard for the upcoming Formula 1 Italian Grand Prix in Monza due to a persistent heatwave affecting the region. This official designation requires drivers to implement specific mitigation strategies, including the use of cooling vests or the addition of ballast to their vehicles to manage the high temperatures.
The measure follows a series of heatwaves across Italy throughout the summer. The intervention aims to ensure driver safety and performance stability during the race weekend as ambient temperatures remain significantly elevated.
