Carlos Sainz Jr. Claims Victory at Australian Grand Prix

Third Career Win for Ferrari Driver

Sainz Triumphant After Recent Surgery

Formula 1 driver Carlos Sainz Jr. has claimed his third career victory at the 2024 Formula 1 Rolex Australian Grand Prix. This triumph comes merely two weeks after the Ferrari driver underwent surgery to remove a kidney stone.

Sainz started the race from fifth on the grid but quickly made his way to the front, taking the lead on lap 18. He held off challenges from reigning world champion Max Verstappen and Mercedes driver Lewis Hamilton to secure the win.

This victory is a testament to Sainz's resilience and determination. He had been struggling with health issues in the lead-up to the race but overcame these obstacles to deliver a dominant performance.

The Australian Grand Prix is the third race of the 2024 Formula 1 season. Verstappen currently leads the drivers' championship standings, but Sainz's victory has closed the gap to just 15 points.

The next race on the Formula 1 calendar is the Formula 1 Rolex Bahrain Grand Prix, which takes place on March 4th, 2024.
