Magnussen suffers burn out in Singapore hot-seat

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 south east 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,” he 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.”
