"Formula 1's Singapore Grand Prix 2025 drew more than 300,600 spectators over the past weekend, its second-biggest audience in its history. While the crowd was diverse, every spectator had one thing in common: beads of perspiration. Just three days before the big race, F1's organizing body, the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile, announced that the Singapore Grand Prix 2025 would be the first "heat hazard" race in F1 history."
"Temperatures rose to 85 degrees Fahrenheit during Sunday's race, and the track temperature was even hotter, at 91 degrees. Humidity stood at a choking 72%. The new "heat hazard" label came with new regulations for the 20 race car drivers, such as the installation of a cooling system in the cars. Spectators battled the heat of the tropics with hand-held fans, caps, and pricey ice-cold drinks."
