Update on Sainz for the Brazil GP: driver arrives after being unwell!

Yesterday, Sainz was not present in the Sao Paulo Grand Prix paddock. That was because the Spanish driver was unwell, his team shared.

Today, the Williams driver was on the FIA's start list, and he was also pictured arriving at the paddock.

This is not the first time this season that a driver has had to miss media day due to illness. George Russell was in a similar situation at this year’s Azerbaijan Grand Prix, where the Briton ended up finishing on the podium alongside Sainz.

This Friday, two sessions will take place at the Interlagos circuit: FP1 and Sprint Qualifying. Find the complete schedule here!
