Lando Norris has jokingly claimed he will have his appendix removed to boost his chances of a Grand Prix win after Carlos Sainz’s victory in Australia. The emergency appendectomy had led to the 29-year-old being forced to miss the Saudi Grand Prix. Sainz revealed he had jokingly suggested to Norris he should also have his appendix removed. ‘It is what I told Lando, I said maybe you should get your appendix removed this winter, you should do it because there may be a tenth in it,’ Sainz told Sky Sports. Norris, who is still searching for his maiden Grand Prix victory, joked he might take up the suggestion.
