Hopefully for Carlos, it’s not as serious as the appendicitis he suffered ahead of last year’s Saudi Arabian GP.
Carlos Sainz will skip his media duties before the São Paulo Grand Prix this weekend due to feeling unwell. He was supposed to speak with the press at Interlagos to preview the upcoming races, including the sprint and the main event on Sunday. The Williams team confirmed Sainz’s absence from the track, as he rests at the team’s hotel in hopes of recovering for the competition. A team spokesperson apologized for the cancellation of media slots due to Sainz’s illness. Last year, Sainz missed the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix due to appendicitis, leading to Oliver Bearman substituting for him and finishing seventh in his F1 debut for Haas.
