Danish rookie Kevin Magnussen needed medical attention for burns to his backside following Sunday's Singapore Grand Prix in which he finished 10th for McLaren.
In hot and humid conditions under floodlights at the Southeast Asian street circuit, he was one of many drivers to suffer from fatigue and dehydration – and in his case a burnt backside.
"That was tough, very tough. At least we got one point," the 21-year-old said."I don't know if something was wrong, but my seat was very hot, so we have to check what's going on. I couldn't even drink the water it was so hot."It's the hardest-earned point I've ever had, but it's better than nothing."
Team-mate Jenson Button, the 2009 champion, retired in the closing laps with mechanical failure.
