The Spaniard declared that he feels ready to get into the car, but he won't force it if he doesn't feel good: “I'm not stupid. If I don't feel like I'm in the conditions for the race,” then I'll raise my arms and relax again. I have a plan agreed with the FIA. The federation doctors are checking my progress, and tomorrow I will have another scan.’ Therefore, Sainz does not completely rule out the possibility of losing for the second time in a row: in case of withdrawal, Oliver Biermann will have the possibility of competing in his second consecutive Grand Prix on red.
