Esteban Ocon, who participated in the race, admitted to vomiting inside his helmet during the event. He shared this revelation on the team radio around lap 15 of the race, and it was later confirmed during a media interview. Ocon described the tough conditions, attributing his discomfort to the hot air and the heat generated by the car’s engine. The cockpit temperature was reportedly around 80 degrees Celsius, making it a challenging race for the drivers. Ocon acknowledged that the race was one of the hardest-fought for points in his career and expressed relief that the event would return to Qatar in December the following year.
