Formula 1 News: Austrian GP Heat? What Heat?

At the Austrian Grand Prix at the Red Bull Ring, the FIA declared a heat hazard after temperatures were forecast to reach the mid-90s, requiring all cars to carry components for a new cooling vest system. Sergio Perez joked about the conditions, saying as a Mexican the heat was normal to him and that he found Europeans' concerns amusing. Mercedes brought an updated battery package to Austria following a failure that caused Antonelli to retire in Barcelona, with the 19-year-old clarifying that the Barcelona issue was not heat-related but rather a temperature spike in a battery pack component.
