Alex Albon knows exactly what Carlos Sainz went through en route to his Australian GP success
“Alex Albon believes Carlos Sainz benefited from a crucial asset en route to his Australian Grand Prix win, which he described as ‘a beautiful thing’. Sainz secured his third career victory by leading his Ferrari to triumph at Melbourne’s Albert Park, seizing the opportunity after Max Verstappen’s early retirement due to a right-rear brake failure. Despite undergoing surgery to remove his appendix just 16 days before the race, Sainz sought specialist advice to ensure his fitness for the event. Albon, who also had an appendectomy recently, praised Sainz’s remarkable performance and supported him during the recovery period between races. Comparing their experiences, Albon explained the challenges they faced and highlighted the impact of adrenaline on drivers’ abilities to overcome physical discomfort and return to racing quickly.”
