Carlos Sainz made a lighthearted comment suggesting that all drivers on the grid should have their appendix removed after his victory in the Australian GP.
Prior to the race, Sainz faced some challenges. He had to undergo an appendicitis surgery, causing him to miss the previous event. Furthermore, the 29-year-old driver was not entirely comfortable at the start of the weekend in Albert Park. Despite these setbacks, Sainz delivered an exceptional performance and managed to win the race against all odds.
After the race, Sainz mentioned how life can be unpredictable. He reflected on the past few months, which included a podium in the season opener in Bahrain, followed by the appendicitis setback.
Sainz highlighted how he recovered from the surgery and achieved victory this weekend. In a lighthearted manner, he suggested that all drivers should have their appendix removed next winter, implying that it would level the playing field and provide exciting action for the fans.
The Ferrari team boss was extremely pleased with Sainz’s remarkable performance just two weeks after the surgery. The 29-year-old driver exceeded expectations and took advantage of Max Verstappen’s retirement to secure the victory in the Grand Prix. In a playful response, the team boss joined in Sainz’s joke about more appendicitis surgeries in the future.
The Ferrari team boss humorously suggested that Sainz should undergo surgery every week to achieve similar results. He expressed his satisfaction with the team’s 1-2 finish. The team boss emphasized the significant progress made by the Scuderia compared to the start of the weekend in Albert Park.
Without a doubt, Ferrari positioned itself favorably after achieving a 1-2 finish in Melbourne. Although he does not have a seat for the 2025 season, Carlos Sainz once again demonstrated his talent and value to the grid. He will continue to push himself to the limit, showcasing his skills to potential teams next season. It remains to be seen where the Spanish driver will go after his time in Maranello ends this year.
