Overview
- David Reynolds and Will Brown were taken to the Sydney Motorsport Park medical centre post-race, while winner Broc Feeney received attention in pit lane.
- Reynolds said his suit failed on lap one and called it the worst he has ever felt, describing dizziness, inability to speak, and alternative cannulation after veins collapsed.
- Brown reported his suit was circulating fluid at about 42°C, said he felt close to passing out, finished 18th, and revealed staff could not secure an IV due to collapsed veins.
- Officials kept an Ambulance Service Australia staffer with podium finishers Broc Feeney, Matt Payne and Cam Waters before the ceremony as conditions reached the mid-30s with extreme humidity.
- Teams acknowledged intermittent cool-suit issues across the weekend and said they will investigate before the Australian Grand Prix round in early March, with affected drivers expecting to recover.
