Carlos Sainz wasn’t able to win the Italian GP but did put up an amazing show of defense to secure P3. However, the Spaniard did face adversity toward the end of the night but didn’t let his guard down and defended his $630,000 asset. Carlos Sainz has now broken the silence for the 1st time to give a vital update about the same. What did the Spaniard say?

Carlos Sainz faced a watch robbery last night when robbers confronted him. The Spaniard was put up at the Armani Hotel after the Monza GP ended. After leaving the hotel in the evening, three men approached Sainz and stole his Richard Mille watch. The watch is believed to be worth $630,000. Nonetheless, Sainz, along with the help of some people, was able to catch up to the robbers, stop them, and hand them over to the police.

Hours after the incident, Carlos Sainz posted an update on Instagram, telling the fans that everyone was safe. According to Carlos Sainz’s story, he wrote “As many of you already know, yesterday we experienced an unfortunate incident in Milano. The most important thing is that we are all OK and this will only remain as an unpleasant anecdote. Many thanks to all the people who helped us yesterday, to the Milan police for their quick intervention and thanks for all your messages.”

It’s a relief to hear from Carlos Sainz and to know that everyone is safe. Watch robbery isn’t a new thing to the F1 drivers. Carlos Sainz’s teammate Charles Leclerc and golfing partner Lando Norris have previously faced the same crime.

Charles Leclerc and Lando Norris have been victims of watch robbery

Charles Leclerc had his Richard Mille RM67-02 stolen last year when he was in the Italian City of Viareggio. A crowd formed up around Leclerc for photographs and the robber managed to steal the watch away from Leclerc. The watch was believed to be worth $320,000. Nonetheless, earlier this year the police arrested 4 people for this crime.

Richard Mille is amongst the top brands of luxury watches. They sponsor both Ferrari and McLaren, so it makes sense that their drivers wear a Richard Mille. Unfortunately, in Lando Norris’ case as well, his Richard Mille was stolen. It was the same model as Charles Leclerc’s, a Richard Mille RM 67-02 but Norris’ edition was worth $180,000. The robbery happened at the Euros 2020 final.
