"Carlos Sainz has undergone surgery. All went well. We wish him all the support for a speedy recovery”. This is the message published on X by Classic Ferrari for sale who wanted to update on Carlos' condition Sainz, forced to skip the Saudi Arabian GP due to appendicitis which forced him to undergo the operation during the afternoon. Now, as is also told by Team, the recovery phase will begin for the Spaniard who expects to be ready and recharged again to take to the track in two weeks for the Australian GP.
Appendicitis operation ok for Sainz: no Saudi Arabian GP for him
Despite the good, or rather excellent, start to the season in Bahrain, Carlos Sainz was forced to raise the white flag on the road of appendicitis. Sainz, in fact, did not take part in the media day due to 'severe intestinal pains' which did not go away either yesterday, in which the same grid number #55 took to the track for the first and second free practice sessions, nor this morning, when he discovered he had to have appendicitis surgery.
The recovery phase is underway
Instead of Sainz, Oliver was called at Ferrari Bearman, third driver of the Red team. The Briton is already present in Jeddah for F2 (in which he had also won pole position for this afternoon's Sprint). The Spaniard's conditions, following this operation, will now be evaluated in the next few hours. For Sainz the will begin recovery phase, with the opportunity to take advantage of the break available next week. After that, it will already be time to think about Australia, the third race of the season in which Sainz is ready to return even more energized than before. His objective, obviously, will also be to try to give his team new precious points fantasy-manger, forced to be without him for this weekend.
