Carlos Sainz will take part in Sunday's Russian Grand Prix after being declared fit to race by the FIA's medical delegate and the chief medical officer of Sochi's medical centre.
Sainz was airlifted to hospital on Saturday after crashing heavily into the barriers at Turn 13. The car went under the barriers and Sainz had to be extricated from the car by medical staff before being stretchered away to an ambulance.
He was released from hospital on Saturday night after scans showed no signs of injuries and was given a further medical check on Sunday morning to make sure he was fit to race. He will start from the back of the grid in his re-built Toro Rosso.
"In accordance with normal procedures, Scuderia Toro Rosso driver Carlos Sainz was this morning examined by the FIA medical delegate and chief medical officer of the Sochi circuit medical centre. Following this examination the driver has been declared fit to race in today's Russian Grand Prix."
