All should be compliments on the work done by Carlos Sainz in the Australian GP classification taking into account the circumstances. This is the first classification two weeks after being operated for appendicitis during Saudi Arabian GP and, still reduced, he was very close to achieving the pole. Finally the second will come but it is a result that tastes like glory.
“They have been difficult weeks, in bed and not having prepared well for this moment, to see if I can… and Getting to the front line after leading the classification is almost unbelievable“said the Spaniard as he got out of the Ferrari at the finish line.
Sainz’s ambition was clear as he made sure that being in first position was painful as he saw it so close. It is true that both the Spaniard and Leclerc have been very fast all weekend and they are the favorites to make it. But it should be considered that he was on bed rest for two weeks.
“Not getting the pole is something bitter, of course, if you had told me a few days ago that I would go to this point, I would have signed it. Now with adrenaline I was able to do everything. You have to be 100% to beat Max and now I’m not. Tomorrow I will give everything after Max.”
“I am it’s great fun to challenge Red Bull the weekend, I had some doubts yesterday but I found my rhythm, I felt very good with the car. Yes, I’m not completely comfortable, but I can do the job.”
How are you physically?
After free practice on Friday, Sainz was caught talking to his father who admitted that the area affected by the surgery continues to bother him. In the microphones of DAZN he said that he was happy to be able to do the free training without pain and it seems that with the qualification the sensations keep getting better. In that sense, he hopes to be even fresher for the race.
“If it doesn’t hurt I can push, if it doesn’t hurt even if it’s uncomfortableI can ride at full capacity, let’s see if tomorrow I will take a step of recovery in the physio and I will be OK,” he said.
