quoteSainz to race in Russian GP after passing FIA medical
Carlos Sainz has been passed fit by the FIA to race in the Russian Grand Prix and the team has confirmed his participation.
The Spaniard escaped unhurt from a spectacular crash on Saturday morning after ploughing head first into the barriers at Turn 13 in final free practice.
After being airlifted to hospital, checks by medical staff showed that he had suffered no serious injuries and he was released on Saturday night.
Sainz had to attend the medical centre at Sochi on Sunday morning for checks to confirm he was suffering no ill effects, and the FIA doctors were happy with him.
Following the FIA medical report, the team confirmed his participation in the race.
His car has been repaired and the FIA stewards said on Saturday that he would be allowed to start from the grid if necessary despite not taking part in qualifying.
What a race! I expected a boring race like last year. But it was only a very short time boring. Kimi gave me some grey hairs this race. I was shouting more than once in front of the TV
I am Kimi's fan so I will say - 50/50. Kimi wasn't outbraking himself, he was able to stop in time for the corner without blocking tyres. The only reason he blocked a tyre was that he saw Bottas cutting across Bottas left the door wide open.
Kimi could've been just little bit more cautious and probably was just a tab too optimistic with this move.
Racing accident for sure.
