Melbourne (Australia), Mar 20 (AP) Carlos Sainz Jr. is expected to return for Ferrari at this weekend's Australian Grand Prix after undergoing surgery for appendicitis.

“Carlos Sainz is expected to be back in the car,” Ferrari said Wednesday.
Sainz finished third behind Red Bull's Max Verstappen and Sergio Perez at the season-opening Bahrain GP and Red Bull also went 1-2 in Saudi Arabia, with Ferrari's Charles Leclerc placing third.
“We expect to be frontrunners on this track, which could produce a similar pecking order to the one seen in Jeddah,” Ferrari team principal Fred Vasseur said. “We intend on adopting an aggressive approach with the aim of putting pressure on the team that's won the first two races.”
