Racing in Singapore would have delayed Stroll recovery from near-50G impact
Lance Stroll suffered a high impact crash in qualifying in Singapore, with a g-force of nearly 50G, and racing the following day would have hindered his recovery for the Japanese Grand Prix. Aston Martin and Stroll made the decision to withdraw him from the race, despite passing the required tests. Stroll believes it was the right decision to prioritize his full fitness for the race in Suzuka. He acknowledges that while he was healthy to race, he didn’t feel physically well enough to compete in Singapore, which is considered the hardest race of the year. Stroll also understands that street circuits should punish mistakes and doesn’t have any complaints about the curbs at the final corner where he crashed. He is now fully focused and looking forward to the Japanese Grand Prix, although he is aware that it may not suit Aston Martin’s car and that it’s difficult to predict the pecking order in the highly competitive field of Formula 1.
