Ferrari are hopeful Carlos Sainz will be back in action for next weekend's Australian Grand Prix.
The Spaniard was forced to undergo surgery and thus was replaced by Ferrari junior driver Oliver Bearman, who performed spectacularly on his F1 debut.
“Now, he will fly back with me tomorrow and he will have one week of complete rest, and we will take a decision on when he has to fly to Melbourne in one week's time. But I'm quite optimistic.” “I think it's a characteristic of the family! I'm not strong enough to extract Carlos from the car,” he added. “When he came on Thursday morning, he didn't feel well, 'Let me try to do some laps,' and he did the full session. The afternoon, it was exactly the same.
