Formula One driver Esteban Ocon has revealed he was sick inside his crash helmet during a sweltering Qatar Grand Prix that left several of his rivals feeling sick. Some even required attention and took themselves to the medical centre post-race, with the farcical spectacle criticised as being ‘beyond the limit’ and ‘too extreme’. Alpine’s Esteban Ocon admitted that he had vomited in his helmet on lap 15 but managed to complete the race despite the mercury ticking over 40 degrees. His team later said he had been cleared by medics on-site after ‘suffering from intense dehydration’ during the race and ‘flu-like symptoms earlier in the week’.
