Aston Martin confronted with Lance Stroll replacement question as THREE drivers await verdict
“Lance Stroll’s absence from the Spanish Grand Prix due to injury has raised concerns about his participation at the upcoming Canadian Grand Prix.
Stroll’s wrist and hand pain, stemming from a 2023 cycling accident, has cast doubt on his return for the race in June.
Aston Martin has not confirmed Stroll’s availability for the Canadian GP, potentially leaving the team in a challenging position as they consider potential replacements.
One option for a replacement could be experienced F1 driver Stoffel Vandoorne, who has been actively racing in Formula E and WEC.
Another potential candidate is Felipe Drugovich, who won the F2 championship in 2022 and serves as a test and reserve driver for Aston Martin.
Both Vandoorne and Drugovich face scheduling conflicts with the 24 Hours of Le Mans, adding complexity to the decision-making process for Aston Martin.”
