The Canadian chose to throw in the towel for the Catalan event due to pain in one hand. This could be linked to a surgery performed in 2023 to treat an injury related to a bad cycling fall in the winter of 2023. At the time, Lance Stroll had to recover " a fracture and displacement of the right wrist, a fracture of the left wrist, a partial fracture of the right hand and finally another fracture at the level of the big toe of the right foot. »

“For the past six weeks, Lance has experienced pain in his hand and wrist, which his medical advisor believes is related to the procedure he underwent in 2023.

As a result, his medical team has confirmed that he will not race tomorrow and will undergo a procedure to address these issues before focusing on his recovery.

Lance Stroll will not be replaced on the starting grid for the Spanish Grand Prix because the Quebecer took part in qualifying on Saturday. This prevents a reserve driver (Felipe Drugovich at Aston Martin) from taking the Aston Martin's seat.

Lance Stroll now has a two-week period to treat the condition, before considering a return for "his" Canadian Grand Prix, scheduled for Montreal from June 2 to 13.

Question: Who wants a rotten seat for the next Grand Prix? If the lucky winner does anything with it, he's the new Schumacher.

But what about you Alain, as long as dad is here, it won't change! But Alonso should perhaps react......but he has the chance to finish his career with, as we said, his ass in the butter :):):)

I'll be honest, it's a shame on his part, knowing that for weeks he has had a health problem, he did not withdraw before the weekend, and thus the chance to another driver and especially to give an additional chance to his Team to be able to score points !!!!! 🤨🤨🤨🤨🤨 By having such unprofessional behavior he must stop immediately. 😎👀🤨👎🤨
