Carlos Sainz Jr, the Spanish driver for Ferrari, will evaluate his well-being after the two practice sessions on Friday as he gets ready to make his comeback at the Australian Grand Prix in Formula 1. Sainz was unable to participate in the race in Saudi Arabia due to a diagnosis of appendicitis on the morning of qualifying. In his absence, 18-year-old Ferrari reserve driver Ollie Bearman stepped in and finished in seventh place. Sainz has traveled to Australia after focusing solely on his recovery, foregoing his usual training and simulator sessions. Bearman, who is present at the venue to compete in Formula 2, remains on standby. Sainz expresses confidence in his ability to perform well, despite not being at 100% fitness. He acknowledges that he has not had the usual 10 days of training and simulator sessions, but he feels positive about his readiness to race. Sainz emphasizes that he will assess his condition tomorrow and make a decision accordingly. He also assures that he will not hesitate to admit if he is not feeling well and needs more time before the next race. The FIA is monitoring his progress, and Sainz will have another check with them tomorrow. He prioritizes his well-being and will be transparent about his physical state.
