Aston Martin Formula 1 driver Lance Stroll will return to the wheel of the AMR25 at his home Canadian Grand Prix in Montreal after a successful procedure to treat a hand injury.
After qualifying for the Spanish GP two weeks ago, Stroll decided to withdraw from the event after recurring pain in his right hand significantly worsened and left him to seek medical treatment.
Stroll has undergone a surgery to the wrist he fractured two years ago in a cycling accident, and after testing an older generation F1 car at France’s Paul Ricard circuit the Canadian has been deemed fit to race this weekend.
“We are pleased to confirm that Lance Stroll will be back with the team competing in Montreal this weekend,” Aston Martin shared on Wednesday.
“He had a successful medical procedure to resolve the symptoms he has been experiencing and completed some laps in an old F1 car at Paul Ricard earlier this week. Lance is feeling fit and healthy, and is excited to compete in front of his home crowd.”
Lance Stroll was quoted as saying: “I am excited to get back behind the wheel with the team for my home Grand Prix this weekend. I was always going to fight hard to be ready to race in front of the Montreal crowd. I’m feeling good after my procedure and put some laps in at Paul Ricard this week to prepare.”
