Lance Stroll skipped the Spanish Grand Prix due to health concerns stemming from his bike riding accident in 2023. Aston Martin can now confirm the Canadian F1 driver has undergone a required surgery.
Stroll goes MIA on Sunday, but for good reason
Stroll had qualified P14 for the race in Barcelona, a good effort from the Canadian driver, that would however prove to be unfruitful as he would not make the grid on Sunday due to his 2023 wrist fracture still giving him a few aches and pains. Due to the fact that he'd taken part in qualifying it left Aston Martin's hands tied as they could not call upon a replacement to take Stroll's drive, forcing the team to field only one car for the Grand Prix.
