Sainz is unwell: Williams driver to miss first day in Brazil

The Spaniard is feeling unwell, the team shared in a short statement. Sainz as a result will not talk to the media today, while his Williams teammate Alexander Albon will be present at the FIA press conference.

No update has been given on his participation during the rest of the sessions. On Friday, FP1 and Sprint Qualifying will take place at the 2025 São Paulo Grand Prix.

This is not the first time a driver has to skip media day for this reason this year. Recently, this happened to George Russell at the Azerbaijan Grand Prix. The Briton then finished second in Baku, where Sainz also scored his first ever Williams podium.
