The Ferrari driver Carlos Sainz lost his $500,000,000 worth of Richard Mille watch a few hours after finishing first in the Italian Grand Prix.

Regrettably, for a 29-year-old driver, he had lost his nerve and had pursued the drivers on foot.

Everything happened in front of the Armani Hotel in Milan.

Sainz returned to the hotel following the Italian Grand Prix in Monza when three men approached him.

Enfrenté de la danger d’un couteau, les trois hommes se sont livrés dans le joug d’une montre Richard Mille évaluée at dix millions de dollars.

Or at least that’s what they believed.

With the help of a passerby, Sainz was able to track down the thieves, retrieve his watch, and put an end to the wrongdoers.

Even if the story ends happily, there may be a trend, and that is a little concerning.

The same thing has arrived for both Charles Leclerc and McLaren pilot Lando Norris.

Every time one of the two pilots tried to take off with their watch, it was a Richard Mille watch.

In actuality, Norris was cambriolé twice.

Once outside Wembley during the 2020 European Championship, and once this summer in Marbella.

Regarding Leclerc, he was caught stealing jewelry during a vacation in the Italian city of Viareggio with friends.

A few months later, the watch reappears on the black market, where it is sold for almost half of its original price.

Regarding his day on the circuit, Sainz said he was happy to be standing on the podium.

“C’était un très bon week-end et le fait de pouvoir fêter un podium avec les Tifosi (supporters italiens, ndlr) est la cerise sur le gâteau” , said Sainz.

Once again, the Italian Grand Prix was an event unlike any other, with Red Bull Racing stealing the podium with a double.

Max Verstappen defeated co-driver Sergio Pérez by nine seconds to win his tenth affiliated race.

Carlos Sainz finished third on the podium, just less than his Ferrari co-pilot Charles Leclerc.

The Grand Prix de Singapour, the upcoming Formula 1 race, is scheduled for September 17th.
