Carlos Sainz has been urgently operated on for appendicitis. Ferrari has announced that the surgery was successful and now the driver, who will not be able to participate in the Saudi Arabian GP, the second round of the F1 world championship, will have to undergo a period of rest. He will be replaced, already in today's qualifications, by the reserve Oliver Bearman. On Wednesday, Sainz missed the scheduled media appointment at the Jeddah Corniche circuit, before taking part in the two free practice sessions yesterday. On its X account, Ferrari sent him their support, wishing him a speedy recovery. Ferrari also confirmed that the Spaniard will not participate in the Saudi F1 event and that the British F2 driver Oliver James Bearman, 18, will take his place alongside Charles Leclerc from FP3 onwards.

Lewis Hamilton and Charles Leclerc have both been disqualified from the United States Grand Prix. Following the race in Austin, their cars were inspected and irregularities were spotted by the FIA Technical team after a plank wear inspection was carried out. Hamilton had finished a brilliant second, harrying the triumphant Max Verstappen all the way to the line. Leclerc crossed the line in sixth, fractions of a second ahead of the second Mercedes of George Russell after falling back in the late stages on the less favoured one-stop strategy. Both Mercedes and Ferrari can opt to appeal the decision. The disqualification moves Norris up to second and promotes Carlos Sainz jr. to the podium places. Sergio Perez moves to fourth and extends his lead over Hamilton in the fight for second in the drivers’ championship. Russell jumps from seventh to fifth, Pierre Gasly to sixth and Lance Stroll to seventh. Yuki Tsunoda was eighth, with the Japanese racer also grabbing the bonus point for fastest lap on a good day for AlphaTauri. It also means that Williams score with both cars, Alex Albon inheriting ninth place and Logan Sargeant grabbing his first F1 point with P10 on home soil.
