Formula 1 is taking precautions due to extreme heat at the Austrian Grand Prix. The event has triggered "heat hazard" rules, which were introduced last year. As a result, drivers will be using extra cooling gear during the race.

This is the first time these rules have been applied for a European race. Further details about the heat hazard rules and their implementation can be found through ValleyCentral sports news, which is following the story from Spielberg, Austria.
