Promise Returning Undefined When Setting State But Printing to Console Fine

So I’m quite new to web dev but I’m trying to build my first front-end app that simply fetches some data from an API and displays it. When I console.log() my promise, it returns an array of objects, which is what I want and what I expect from the promise. But, when I try to set my component’s state to that same promised array, React is throwing this error:

Objects are not valid as a React child (found: [object Promise]). If you meant to render a collection of children, use an array instead.

Here is the relevant code:

const config = {
    method: 'get',
    url: 'http://ergast.com/api/f1/2020/drivers.json',
    headers: {}
};

export default class DriverList extends Component {

    state = {
        drivers: []
    }

    componentDidMount() {
        axios(config)
            .then(res => {
                console.log(res.data.MRData.DriverTable.Drivers)
                this.setState({
                    drivers: res.data.MRData.DriverTable.Drivers // *** Error pointing to this ***
                });
                console.log(this.drivers)
            })
            .catch(err => {
                console.log(err)
            });
    }

    render() {
        return (
            <div>
                {this.state.drivers.map(driver =>
                    <Driver
                        firstName={driver.giveName}
                        lastName={driver.familyName}
                        driverID={driver.driverId}
                    />)
                }
            </div>
        )
    }
}

Any help with this would be appreciate!

I think there’s not actual data, but Promise.

How about trying this??

componentDidMount() {
  this.getDrivers();
}

getDrivers = async () => {
  try {
    const res = await axios(config);
    const drivers = res.data.MRData.DriverTable.Drivers;
    this.setState({
      drivers
    });
  } catch (err) {
    console.log(err);
  }  
};
