Ferrari driver Carlos Sainz has thanked police following reports he was the target of an attempted theft after Sunday’s Italian Grand Prix.<\/p>\n
According to Corriere dello Sport, the 29-year-old was approached by two men, under the pretense of wanting a selfie, who removed a watch worth hundreds of thousands of pounds from his wrist.<\/p>\n
Sainz and his bodyguard reportedly chased the thieves and managed to retrieve the timepiece and were then helped by members of the public before police arrived.<\/p>\n
‘As many of you already know, yesterday we experienced an unfortunate incident in Milano,’ the Spaniard posted on X, formerly known as Twitter.<\/p>\n
‘The most important thing is that we are all OK and this will only remain as an unpleasant anecdote.’<\/p>\n
