The Singapore Grand Prix has been declared a heat-hazard race, with temperatures forecast to exceed 31 deg C during the sprint and race.
"In accordance with Article B1.5.10 of the FIA F1 Regulations, having received a forecast from the official weather service predicting that the heat index will be greater than 31 deg C at some time during the sprint or race at this event, a heat hazard is declared for both the sprint and race," a Thursday (Oct 8) statement from FIA F1 race director Rui Marques reads.
Heat hazards can be declared if pre-weekend weather forecasts predict temperatures of 31 deg C or above at some point during a sprint or race.
Teams are then notified of the declaration by the FIA and subsequently must fit a Driver Cooling System to their cars.
These cooling devices pump liquid through a special fireproof vest worn by the driver to help regulate cockpit temperatures.
And while drivers can choose not to use the vest, they would have to carry 0.5kg of ballast in the cockpit to ensure that they do not gain a competitive advantage.
This is the fourth time the designation has been used in Formula 1 races this year, and the second weekend in a row — after it was similarly declared at the Bahrain GP held in Malaysia's Sepang .
Singapore now joins the Austrian, Italian and last weekend's Bahrain Grand Prix in Malaysia in being declared a heat-hazard race this season.
According to the Meteorological Service Singapore, afternoon thundery showers are expected on Friday, while morning thundery showers are forecast for Saturday.
On race day, late-morning and early-afternoon thundery showers are forecast.
Temperatures are expected to reach 33 deg C over the race weekend.
新加坡大奖赛已被宣布为高温危险赛事，预计冲刺和比赛期间气温将超过 31 摄氏度。
“根据国际汽联一级方程式规则第 B1.5.10 条，鉴于官方气象部门预测，本次赛事冲刺赛或正赛期间的体感温度将超过 31 摄氏度，因此宣布冲刺赛和正赛均存在高温危险，”国际汽联一级方程式赛事总监鲁伊·马克斯在周四（10 月 8 日）发表声明称。
如果周末前的天气预报预测短跑或比赛期间的某个时段气温达到或超过 31 摄氏度，则可以宣布高温危险。
国际汽联随后会通知各车队这一声明，各车队随后必须在其赛车上安装车手冷却系统。
这些冷却装置通过驾驶员穿着的特殊防火背心泵送液体，以帮助调节驾驶舱温度。
虽然车手可以选择不使用背心，但他们必须在驾驶舱内携带 0.5 公斤的压舱物，以确保他们不会获得竞争优势。
这是今年一级方程式比赛中第四次使用该名称，也是连续第二个周末使用该名称——此前在马来西亚雪邦举行的巴林大奖赛上也使用了类似的名称。
新加坡大奖赛现在与奥地利大奖赛、意大利大奖赛以及上周末在马来西亚举行的巴林大奖赛一起，被宣布为本赛季的高温危险赛道。
新加坡气象局预报，周五下午将有雷阵雨，周六上午将有雷阵雨。
比赛当天，预计上午晚些时候和下午早些时候会有雷阵雨。
预计比赛周末气温将达到 33 摄氏度。
