Sargeant cleared after retiring from F1 Qatar GP with heatstroke
Several drivers, including Logan Sargeant, suffered from severe dehydration and heatstroke during the physically demanding Qatar Grand Prix. Despite initially wanting to continue, Sargeant decided to retire after consultation with his team. He was checked and released by the medical staff, with his condition worsened by illness prior to the race. Another driver, Alex Albon, also received medical assessment after struggling to exit his car and requiring support from his mechanics. The race, characterized by its high downforce circuit and three mandated tire stops, proved to be exceptionally challenging for the drivers, with Lance Stroll nearly fainting and Esteban Ocon admitting to feeling sick while driving. George Russell, Mercedes driver and GPDA director, described it as the most physically demanding race he has ever experienced. Hamilton took responsibility for his clash with Russell during the race.
