The incident occurred just hours after Sainz finished third🐟 at the Italian Grand Prix at Mo𓂃nza to delight the Tifosi. 

Sainz, still in his Ferrari team kit, was targeted at around 8.30pm near the Armani hote🔯l in Milan, according to reports in It൲aly. 

The ꩲ29-year-old is said to have chased the robbers alongside members of the public, and successfully got his Richard Mille timepiece back. 

Police have arrested two suspects. 

Sainz posted to social media: "As many of you alrไeady know, yesterday we exp🦩erienced an unfortunate incident in Milano.

"The most important thing is that we are all OK and this will only remain as an unpleasant anဣecdote.

"Many thanks to all the people who helped us yesterday, to the Mil🏅an police for their quick intervention and thanks for all your mess𓃲ages."

Ferrari teammate Charles Leclerc had his exclusive Richard Mille watch stolen from his wrist inℱ the Italian seaside resort o🎶f Viareggio last year. 

It happened when Leclerc was approached by two people wearing motorcycle helmets who had aske🍒d him for a selfie. 

McLaren star Lando Norris has🍸 also been the vict⛄im of two robberies. 

Norris had his £144,000♏ designer watch stolen in Wembley Stadium’s VIP 🌠car park after the Euro 2020 final, before he was robbed while on holiday in Marbella earlier this year.
