Lance Stroll has withdrawn from Sunday’s Formula 1 Spanish Grand Prix and will undergo a procedure with an undisclosed recovery time
Aston Martin driver Lance Stroll has withdrawn from the Formula 1 Spanish Grand Prix on Sunday to undergo a procedure with an undisclosed recovery time. Stroll, who qualified 14th, will miss the race despite scoring all 14 of the team’s points this season. He has been experiencing pain in his hand and wrist for the past six weeks, related to a procedure from 2023 after a cycling accident. Stroll will have a new procedure to address these issues before starting his recovery process. The team has not disclosed when the procedure will happen or how long the recovery is expected to be. If Stroll can’t race in Canada in two weeks, reserve drivers Felipe Drugovich or Stoffel Vandoorne may substitute, but Drugovich is not feasible for a late substitution in Spain.
