No Saudi Arabian GP for Carlos Sainz . The Ferrari driver has appendicitis and has already undergone surgery .
The first signs for the Spaniard, who will already be replaced in today's qualifying by the reserve Oliver Bearman, arrived on Wednesday , when he missed the scheduled appointment with the media on the Jeddah Corniche circuit, before taking part in the two sessions regularly free yesterday.
Then, this night, the situation worsened , and what seemed like a gastrointestinal problem actually turned out to be something else entirely .
The discovery came after in-depth tests in the hospital in Jeddah, where Carlos went to understand the origin of the persistent pain and fever, even high, despite painkillers and treatments.
On their X account , Ferrari sent him their support, wishing him a speedy recovery .
British F2 driver Oliver James Bearman, 18, will therefore take his place alongside Charles Leclerc from FP3 onwards.
