Lance Stroll withdrew from the Spanish Grand Prix after quaifying after an old wrist injury required surgery.
Aston Martin has firmly denied reports that Lance Stroll lost his temper in the garage after qualifying for the Spanish Grand Prix. Stroll, qualifying 14th, was summoned by stewards for not immediately going to be weighed by the FIA. However, it was revealed that he sought medical treatment for pain in his right wrist and withdrew from the race on medical grounds. Stroll had broken both wrists in a pre-season cycling accident, but recovered in time for the Bahrain opener. Despite reports of Stroll losing his temper and breaking equipment, the team denied these claims, with engineering chief Mike Krack explaining Stroll’s situation since his 2023 injuries. Krack highlighted that Stroll’s decision not to race was based on careful consideration and medical advice following weeks of dealing with pain and discomfort.
