Carlos Sainz is expected to return at the Australian Grand Prix for Ferrari after recovering from successful appendix surgery.
The Spaniard participated in the opening two practice sessions at the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix a day before being diagnosed with appendicitis and undergoing surgery on March 8. Sainz's return means that British teenager Oliver Bearman, who is on standby to drive for Ferrari once more after taking an impressive seventh on debut in Jeddah, will instead resume his Formula 2 campaign in Melbourne.
Asked about his prospects of earning a seat, Bearman said: 'I don't know what else I can do because I don't think I'll be in F1 for the rest of the year. So that was my goal, to do a great showing in Saudi Arabia 'I think I did a decent job, so that's alright and that's all I can do, keep pushing in F2 and cross my fingers, that's it.
