Lance Stroll to Return from Injury to Bahrain Grand Prix 2023

Aston Martin confirmed on Thursday that Lance Stroll has recovered from injury and will participate in the Bahrain Grand Prix 2023. 

Stroll suffered from an injury while training before the pre-season testing at Bahrain International Circuit (BIC), therefore he missed three full days of testing. 

He is set to return for the F1 race weekend and to take back his place from reserve driver Felipe Drugovich. 

Stroll said about his injury "It was frustrating not to be out in Bahrain for the pre-season test, and I was disappointed to miss the three days of running ... It was an unfortunate accident - I fell from my bike when my tyre caught a hole in the ground - but thankfully the damage was not significant and a successful minor surgery on my right wrist fixed the problem very quickly...Now I'm ready to get my head down and concentrate on racing this weekend - something I'm really looking forward to."

Both Drugovich and Stoffel Vandoorne will remain on standby as reserve drivers for Aston Martin this weekend.
