Ferrari con💖firmed the Spaniard will be absent from the F1 paddock on Th🍨ursday because he is unwell. 

However, the Italian outfit stressed the illness is “nothing serious” and added that they expect Sainz to be back on Friday to take part in practice at the Autodromoඣ Hermanos Rod💮riguez as planned. 

The 29-year-old currently sits fifth in the drivers’ championship on 171 points, 20 points and two positions ahead of Ferrari teammate Charles Lecle💦rc. 

At last weekend’s United ♒States Grand Prix, Lecleꦛrc revealed he had been in agonising pain as he battled a tooth infection in the days leading up to the Austin race. 

It is not unusual for🍨 F1 drivers to miss Thursday’s media duties if they are feeling under the weather.

Red Bull’s Sergio Perez skipped media day ahead of the Austrian Grand🅘 Prix earlier this year. 🌳;
