Carlos Sainz says he’s “not stupid” and will be the first to admit if he realises that he’s not fit enough to race in this weekend’s Formula 1 Australian GP.
The Spaniard acknowledges that he hasn’t yet returned to 100% fitness after having his appendix removed in Saudi Arabia two weeks ago. However, he remains confident that he will be able to drive this weekend, despite not undertaking any training or using the Maranello simulator since his operation.

And I will be very clear with how I'm feeling and everything.” Speaking of his recovery process so far, Sainz added: 'Every day I’m feeling obviously a lot better. Now, every 24 hours that I do, I make a lot of progress.
