Aston Martin announce their driver line-up for this weekend’s Canadian Grand Prix
Aston Martin confirmed that Lance Stroll will be back to race in this weekend’s F1 Canadian Grand Prix after missing the race in Spain due to a worsening wrist injury from a cycling accident.
Stroll underwent a successful medical procedure to alleviate his symptoms and completed practice laps at Paul Ricard this week to prepare for the race at Circuit Gilles Villeneuve.
In a statement, Aston Martin expressed their pleasure to have Stroll back and mentioned his eagerness to compete in front of his home crowd, highlighting his fitness and excitement for the event.
While rumors circulated about his absence in Spain, including claims of damaging equipment and confrontations with teammates, an Aston Martin mechanic and Stroll’s own mechanic denied these allegations on social media.
Stroll’s return also allows reserve driver Felipe Drugovich to participate in the Le Mans 24 Hours, and should Stroll encounter further issues, Valtteri Bottas is available as a potential reserve option for Aston Martin and other Mercedes-powered teams.
