Carlos Sainz is feeling positive about his recovery and will be back in the SF-24 for first practice in Melbourne.
Although Carlos Sainz is feeling “positive” about his recovery from an appendectomy, the Ferrari driver is adamant he’s also not “stupid” and he won’t race if it means doing harm.
Now, 12 days after his operation, he’s preparing to hop back into his Ferrari SF-24 to contest round three of the championship, the Australian Grand Prix.“Just by seeing me move and the exercises that I’m doing in the gym or anything, this tells me I’m fit to jump into the car and try,” he told the media in Melbourne.
“I’m the first one that doesn’t want to be in pain or to suffer, to make it any worse. I’m not stupid, and I will be very clear with how I’m feeling and everything. Although Sainz accepts he won’t be 100 percent fit, the Ferrari driver believes his body is up for the challenge after an intense pre-season.
