LONDON (Reuters) - Lewis Hamilton will feel the heat, literally at least, in Austria this weekend as Formula One champions Mercedes seek to equal McLaren's modern-day record of 11 wins in a row and he returns to the scene of his most recent retirement.

With temperatures set to soar in scenic Spielberg, the championship leader is expecting more of a challenge than in France last Sunday.
