Carlos Sainz could be a doubt for this weekend's MonacoGP after picking up an injury during a charity football match. F1 Ferrari
Carlos Sainz’s participation in the Monaco GP could be under threat after he was pictured receiving treatment to his leg during a charity football match.
Sainz was one of a number of F1 drivers taking part including his Ferrari team-mate Charles Leclerc and Alpine’s Pierre Gasly but the Spaniard’s appearance at this weekend’s grand prix is now in doubt after he was pictured receiving treatment on his right thigh. The Ferrari driver was taken off shortly after the hour mark and was seen on the bench with wrapping around his leg and a worried look on his face.
It remains to be seen how serious the injury is with Ferrari yet to comment but Sainz has two days to recover before the first practice session on Friday. If Sainz were to be ruled out, it could mean an F1 return for Antonio Giovinazzi who also took part in the game or a debut for Robert Shwartzman. The game hosted by the Children Sports Association is an annual charity football match that pits drivers and other F1 personnel against a ‘Star’ team ahead of the Monaco Grand Prix. Leclerc was named captain of a squad that included the likes of Fernando Alonso, Gasly and even F1 president Stefano Domenicali.
