Williams driver Alex Albon is reportedly in the medical centre following the Qatar Grand Prix due to struggling to get out his FW45 after the race.  The track temperatures reached 37 degrees Celsius and caused issues for multiple drivers. Esteban Ocon threw up in his helmet on Lap 15, Logan Sargeant was forced to retire from being ill, and Oscar Piastri had to lie down in the cool-down room. 

Footage of Albon trying to get out of the car at the end of the race has been circulating social media. The British-Thai driver required help from the Williams team to get out of the cockpit and then had to sit on the car when he seems to have extremely low energy. 

It has also been reported on social media that Albon has been sent to the medical centre to be checked over after the session.  (...)
