What did Angela Cullen say?

After undergoing an operation for appendicitis just 16 days prior, Ferrari’s Carlos Sainz delivered an emphatic performance to win the Australian Grand Prix.

He remains the only driver to have won a race other than Red Bull since 2022 and is currently without a seat for next season.

It was a miraculous turnaround from such a painful procedure, and behind the scenes, the Spaniard was putting in the hard miles to turn around his health.

In a post on Instagram, he shared a unique insight into his road to recovery before returning to the track Down Under in Melbourne.

Under the comments section, Cullen replied ‘legend’ underneath the post in her appreciation of the mightily impressive feat.
