Sainz responds to 'injury': 'Stop inventing'

Carlos Sainz was one of the Formula 1 drivers who took part in a charity football match on Tuesday night. The F1 drivers won 4-3 from a team stars by the way, but afterwards the main topic of conversation was whether or not Sainz was injured.

During the race, broadcast by Sky Sports, came the image of a Sainz, whose upper leg was taped up. Immediately, stories went online that the Spaniard had been injured. However, Ferrari fans need not fear Sainz will be out of action in Monaco.

On Instagram, Sainz wrote: "Hello everyone. Just wanted to let you know that I am well and completely ready to race this weekend in Monaco. What happened yesterday was simply a contact during the traditional charity football match, but it was not an injury. I enjoyed playing football as I always do and now I am ready looking forward to the weekend."

He concluded with: "Stop making it up."
