Before the Singapore Grand Prix, Kimi Antonelli said he suffered heatstroke after the pump in his cooling vest failed and circulated water at 50°C.

The FIA had declared a Heat Hazard for the Singapore Grand Prix, giving drivers the option to use cooling vests designed to offer relief in extreme conditions.

The cooling-vest concept emerged after several drivers fell ill following the 2023 Qatar Grand Prix.
