The Formula 1 race in Canada is expected to take place with Lance Stroll. This suggests statements that one of his potential replacement drivers have now made on the edge of Le Mans 24 hours.
Formula 1 racing team Aston Martin can hope for a commitment of Lance Stroll at the Grand Prix of Canada (Sun. Live on Free TV at RTL).
The Canadian had operated on the hand a few days after his race loss at the Grand Prix of Spain in Barcelona. Aston Martin confirmed the intervention last week, but did not reveal how the operation went and whether the 26-year-old can be at the start in Montreal.
A water level report now gave Roll’s possible replacement fabric vandoorne on the edge of the 24 hours from Le Mans. The Belgian indicated that Aston Martin would probably not need a driver change.
He had no conversations with Aston Martin, explained the ex-F1 driver. “I think Lance is in a good shape and has good doctors who work with him. He will do everything he can to be in Canada,” said Vandoorne.
Doubts about Aston-Martin version
After qualifying, Stroll had initially gained medical treatment in Barcelona. Shortly afterwards, the team announced that he couldn’t start the day at the Grand Prix. As a reason, the racing team mentioned long -lasting problems on Stroll’s hand, which would have worsened and make a start impossible.
However, doubts quickly arose in the representation of the racing team. First, the “BBC” reported a freak out of the Canadian after the qualification in the garage. The Italian “Gazzetta Dello Sport” also wrote at the beginning of the week that nobody knew about Aston Martin von Stroll’s hand complaints. However, Aston Martin did not confirm these representations.
