Comedian Jennifer Wong humorously tackles an F1 racing simulator, while Ferrari’s Carlos Sainz races against time to recover for the Australian Grand Prix following surgery.
Comedian Jennifer Wong recently faced the challenge of an F1 racing simulator at a Sydney racing center, where she humorously struggled with the virtual Melbourne grand prix circuit. Despite not having driven for eight years due to an eye condition, Wong’s experience underscored the intense demands of Formula One racing, earning her respect for the professional athleticism required in the sport.
In related F1 news, Ferrari driver Carlos Sainz has signaled uncertainty about his participation in the upcoming Australian Grand Prix in Melbourne, following abdominal surgery for appendicitis that caused him to miss the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix. The 29-year-old Spanish driver plans to evaluate his fitness post-practice on Friday and consult with the FIA’s medical delegate before making a final decision. Sainz, who had a successful start to the season with a podium finish in Bahrain, expressed his intent to compete if possible, acknowledging the impressive performance of 18-year-old British substitute Ollie Bearman in Jeddah.
Sainz shared his recovery process, noting he had skipped simulator sessions and sought advice from Alex Albon, who experienced a similar situation. Despite the setback, Sainz is determined to challenge the dominant Red Bull team and drivers Max Verstappen and Sergio Perez at the Albert Park, aiming to make a strong return to the racing scene.
