Ferrari F1 team principal Frederic Vasseur is “quite optimistic” that 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Carlos Sainz will be able to recover in time to drive at the Australian Gran🤡d Prix later thisꩵ month.

Sainz sat out of last weekend’s Saudi Ar༒abian Grand Prix after he was diagnosed with appendicitis.

The Spaniard was forced to undergo surgery and thus was replaced by Ferrari junior driver Oliver Bearman, who performed spectacularly o🤪n his F1 debut.

Even though he was still recover𒁃ing, Sainz was in the F1 paddock on Saturday, overseeing affairs from the Fer💙rari garage.

After the race in Saudi Arabia, Vasseur wasꦕ asked about Sa🤡inz’s possible return for Australia.

“This I don't know, honestly,” Sainz said. “The recovery so far is amazing, the fact he was able to come today to be wi☂th the team is a very good sign, and a very good support for us.

“Now, he will fly back with me tomorrow [Sunday] and he will have one week of complete res💟t, and we will take a decision on when he has to fly to Melbourne in one week's time. But I'm quite optimistic.”

Sainz was forced to miss media day in Jeddah through illness but returned to the cockpit of the SFꦫ-24 on Thursday for practice.

Vasseur lauded Sainz for his commitment even though he was “completelꦦy destroyed”.

“I think it's a characteristic of the family!  I'm not st🔜rong enough to extract Carlos from the car,” he added. “When he came on Thursday morning, hꦑe didn't feel well, 'Let me try to do some laps,' and he did the full session. The afternoon, it was exactly the same.

“Already, at this stage, it was amazing for me, because I found out after the session he was completely destroyed. If you look at the result of FP1 and FP2, he had a very decent pace, and he was even able to do long st꧂ints, and this was mega.

“But now let's be focused on the future♑ for Carlos. The 🐓most important thing is not to push today, it's to recover and to recover properly. I don't want to rush, but he's an adult, and he'll take the right decision.”
