Williams drivers cleared by F1 medical team in Qatar
During the Sunday evening race at the Lusail circuit, the drivers faced extreme humidity, causing many of them to struggle inside their car cockpits throughout the 57-lap race. Logan Sargeant, who was already unwell before the race, was particularly affected and was urged by Williams Team Principal James Vowles to retire early. Despite initially refusing, Sargeant eventually pulled into the garage at the end of Lap 42. Williams confirmed in a statement that Sargeant suffered from severe dehydration during the race, compounded by flu-like symptoms he had earlier in the week, but was cleared by the medical team. Additionally, Sargeant’s teammate, Alex Albon, also required medical attention due to acute heat exposure, as he had trouble getting out of his car in parc ferme. He was treated at the medical centre and subsequently cleared by the medical team as well.
