Lance Stroll looks to be on course to return to Formula 1 action at the Canadian Grand Prix, but a final decision is unlikely to be made until next week as he recovers from a wrist operation
Lance Stroll is aiming to make his return to Formula 1 at the Canadian Grand Prix following a wrist operation, but the final decision is pending until next week as he recuperates. Stroll had to sit out the Spanish GP due to hand and wrist discomfort stemming from a cycling mishap in early 2023, resulting in a medical intervention in Barcelona advised by doctors. Surgeon Dr. Xavier Mir conducted a procedure on Stroll, whose recovery progress has generated optimism about his participation in Montreal, though Aston Martin has yet to confirm his state. Alternatives Felipe Drugovich and Stoffel Vandoorne were considered for a potential substitute role, with Drugovich initially poised for an F1 debut, before his commitment to the Le Mans 24 Hours complicated matters. The situation is still evolving, with Aston Martin likely to finalize its decision on Stroll’s availability closer to the race weekend.
