The Spanish driver missed the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix after appendicitis.
Frederic Vasseur is uncertain about Carlos Sainz’s return for the Australian Grand Prix following his absence in Saudi Arabia due to appendicitis. Sainz was replaced by Oliver Bearman, who impressively finished 7th in his debut race. Vasseur is cautious about Sainz’s return, considering the need for rest after surgery. While there is precedent for a quick return after an appendectomy in F1, Vasseur prefers to wait before making a decision. The Ferrari team is focusing on Sainz’s recovery and will decide on his participation in the upcoming race in Melbourne.
