Motor racing-F1 reached safety limit in Qatar: "Way too hot to drive"

DOHA - Formula One drivers said the sport had reached a limit and needed to heed the warning signs after Sunday's Qatar Grand Prix ended with some on the brink of collapse, vomiting and with severe dehydration.

Williams' Alex Albon was taken to the circuit medical centre after the race with acute heat exposure, and was later released, while team mate Logan Sargeant felt too unwell to continue and was treated for intense dehydration after stopping."Today we probably found the limit," said McLaren's Lando Norris."Sad we had to find it that way with some people ending up in the medical centre or passing out. A pretty dangerous thing.

"I sometimes train in saunas and you push your body to the limit and you get to a point where it's too hot and you're like, 'I want to get out.' That was the feeling from about lap 12."
