Following the removal of his appendix in Saudi Arabia two weeks prior, Carlos Sainz admits he has yet to fully regain his fitness. Despite this setback, Sainz remains optimistic about competing in the upcoming race weekend in Melbourne.
Having refrained from training and simulator sessions since his surgery, Sainz plans to participate in practice sessions with adjustments to his belts for comfort. The FIA will also assess his condition before the race.
Acknowledging the importance of his well-being, Sainz emphasizes his commitment to transparency regarding his physical condition. He assures that if he feels unfit to race, he will prioritize his health and opt for further recovery time.
Although confident in his recovery progress, Sainz acknowledges that his readiness can only be determined once he takes to the track in Melbourne.
