The Aston Martin team did not provide very specific information By Lance Stroll suffered from a cycling accident.
The Canadian skier had fallen so badly in Spain that he had to undergo a small surgical procedure on his wrists.
For a long time it seemed that the reigning F2 champion Felipe Drugovich would drive Fernando Alonso as a team mate on the opening weekend in Bahrain.
However, it was announced on Thursday that Stroll has passed both the stable’s own health checks.
– It felt frustrating that I couldn’t participate in the tests in Bahrain. “I was really disappointed because I lost three days of driving,” Stroll said For The Race.
“But because I had injured my wrist, the team felt it would be best to just focus on recovery to be ready for this weekend.
Stroll also elaborated on his fall.
– The front wheel fell on a mountain in the road, and I fell off the ride. Fortunately, the injuries were not significant, and a small operation on the right wrist quickly fixed the problem.
Stroll’s participation is definitely not yet. He still has to pass Fia’s tests after the first practices on Friday. The team’s reserve drivers Drugovich and Stoffel Vandoorne are present in Bahrain ready to patch.
