Lance Stroll will return to action for Aston Martin at his home race, the Canadian Grand Prix, after missing the race in Spain.

Stroll’s status for the Canadian GP at the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve had been left uncertain as injury forced him out of the Grand Prix action in Barcelona, but Aston Martin has confirmed that Stroll will be back alongside Fernando Alonso as an Aston Martin two-car attack returns for Canada.

Lance Stroll good to go for Canadian Grand Prix

Just hours after qualifying at the Spanish Grand Prix, Stroll’s withdrawal from the race was announced, an Aston Martin statement to PlanetF1.com reading: “Over the course of the past six weeks Lance has been experiencing pain in his hand and wrist, which his medical consultant believes is in relation to the procedure he underwent in 2023.

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

Stroll – in the days following the Spanish GP – underwent a procedure which was carried out by renowned MotoGP surgeon Dr Xavier Mir, though his status for his home race in Canada was unclear, until now.
