    Ocon just mentioned he threw up twice during the race due to the hotness

      Well, they just have to put up with it, because the desert is where the fans are money is. /s

        Yeah definitely not fans. I’ve seen very few stands in general and there were lots of empty seats on all days. Absolutely zero atmosphere. Like racing on an empty parking lot.

      Hearing that was pretty mind blowing. I can’t comprehend that and I’m not sure I want to watch the on board…

      Talk about dedication.

      They also just mentioned that Sargeant had flu like symptoms before the GP but seems to be fine now.
