Carlos Sainz Jr will be looking to bounce back when he competes at the
Emilia Romagna Grand Prix on April 24.
The Spanish driver finished fifth at last year's Emilia Romagna Grand Prix in what was his debut season with Ferrari after joining the Italian constructor from Racing Point.
Sainz Jr was forced to retire from the most recent race this season which was the 2022 Australian Grand Prix on April 10 due to a driving error.

His teammate Charles Leclerc won the Australian Grand Prix as he recorded his second victory in the current term.
Sergio Perez of Red Bull Racing-RBPT and Mercedes driver George Russell secured podium finishes - finishing second and third respectively.
Looking at the 2022 Drivers' Championship standings, Leclerc remains at the top and he is followed by Russell.
Sainz Jr is currently placed third on the standings and he will move up on the table if he wins the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix.

"Obviously, [starting on] the back foot with the Hard [tyre], [I was] trying to risk, trying to make a comeback," Sainz Jr said after the Australian Grand Prix.
"I misjudged the grip and I made a mistake – a driver mistake, which I haven't done in a while. [It] definitely has cost me a lot this weekend.
"[The] conclusion [is] we just need to be more perfect, both from my side and from our team, and make sure that we are in the fight next time."
Ferrari are placed at the top of the Constructors' Championship standings and they are followed by Mercedes and Red Bull Racing-RBPT respectively.
