Sky Sports F1 commentators have suggested that an incident for Lance Stroll during pre-season testing in Bahrain could have caused a flare-up of a previous injury. Stroll veered off into the gravel at Turn 11 of the Bahrain International Circuit during day one of the second pre-season testing event at the circuit. The incident was confirmed not to have been a driver error from Stroll, but potentially an issue with Aston Martin’s car as the team’s struggles continue. Stroll appeared to shake out his right hand after leaving the cockpit, leading to fears from inside the commentary box that he could have aggravated a previous injury. Almost missing the 2023 Bahrain Grand Prix due to a cycling accident, Stroll had surgery on both wrists and experienced a flare-up during last year’s Spanish Grand Prix. Despite testing struggles, Aston Martin hopes for better performance in 2026 with Adrian Newey’s influence on car design. Stroll’s dramatic history of injuries and his resolve to compete despite challenges have been highlighted by the commentators, raising questions about Aston Martin’s future performance in F1.
