Carlos Sainz had a difficult couple of weeks before the Australian GP. The Spanish driver missed the Saudi Arabian GP due to an appendicitis surgery. Moreover, the 29-year-old was not 100% comfortable during the start of the Albert Park weekend. However, Sainz delivered an incredible weekend as the Spaniard came home to win the race against all odds.

After the Australian GP, Sainz claimed that life could always turn out to be crazy. The 29-year-old highlighted his past few months. The Spanish driver had taken an impressive podium at the season opener in Bahrain. However, appendicitis forced him out of the next race which came as a major blow to Carlos Sainz.

The Ferrari driver emphasized how he came back from the surgery and managed to win the race this weekend. Subsequently, Carlos Sainz joked that he would command all drivers on the grid to take out their appendix next winter. Perhaps this would allow everyone to perform at Sainz’s level next season, giving fans some thrilling on-track action.

The Ferrari team boss reckoned that perhaps he’ll ask the Spaniard to have a surgery every week to get such results. The 55-year-old admitted that it was a good feeling to secure a 1-2 for Maranello. The Frenchman highlighted that the Scuderia had made a significant step forward compared to the start of the weekend at Albert Park.

I don't know if we need to do the surgery every week [he jokes]. Its a good feeling. The 1-2 is good. We have done a step forward that you could see since he start of the weekend.

Certainly, Ferrari has found itself in a great position after taking a 1-2 finish in Melbourne. Carlos Sainz has once again proved his worth to the grid despite having no seat for 2025 so far. As such, the 29-year-old would continue to push himself to the limit to showcase his talent to potential teams for next season. It remains to be seen where the Spaniard is headed after his stint ends at Maranello this year.
