The McLaren driver missed Thursday activities at the track after experiencing a bout of food poisoning. He took part in qualifying and Friday practice, but felt unwell after the Saturday sprint.
He was given the all-clear for Sunday’s race, but he conceded that he was in some ways “lucky” to have retired with an electrical issue on the 51st lap of the 71-lap event, having started to struggle after losing nearly 4kg in bodyweight over the course of four days.
