So that, Philip Drugovich, that caused great sensations in the tests last week on the same circuit in Bahrain, is left without the possibility of being able to debut, for the moment, in Formula 1. “It was frustrating not to be in Bahrain for the pre-season test. and I was disappointed to miss all three days of racing. However, given the injury to my wrist, the team and I felt it was best to focus on recovery to be ready for this weekend and the long season ahead,” Stroll said.
