I think this is all Ferrari's doing as a response to his performance last week fucking up the optics of the Hamilton swap in 2025. If Carlos were to come out of the season ahead of both Hamilton AND Leclerc, it would make Ferrari look like the idiots they are.
Ferrari: "Carlos, I think you have appendicitis. You should sit out the next race."
Carlos: "I feel fine..."
Ferrari: "No no...you look awful. We should take you to the ER immediately!"
Carlos: "What are you talking about? I feel great!!"
Ferrari: "Carlos, it would be a shame if this condition extended into a few more races, wouldn't it. You wouldn't want that now, would you??"
Carlos: "Hijos de puta!"
