Why did Lance Stroll pull out of Spanish Grand Prix 2025?
Aston Martin announced late on Saturday that Lance Stroll would miss the Spanish Grand Prix with an injured hand.
The Canadian was due to start on the seventh row of Sunday's grid after qualifying in 14th behind McLaren pole-sitter Oscar Piastri.
'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,' a statement from Aston Martin explained.
'As a result his medical team have confirmed that he will not race tomorrow (Sunday) and he will undergo a procedure to rectify these issues before focusing on his recovery.'
Stroll suffered fractures and a broken toe after a cycling accident during the 2023 pre-season, which required surgery followed by a process of rehabilitation.
The 26-year-old, whose father Lawrence Stroll owns the team, is in his seventh season with Aston. He has picked up 14 points this year.
His celebrated two-time former world champion teammate Fernando Alonso sets off from the fifth row in front of his home fans hoping to secure his first points of a disappointing season.

2025 Stanley Cup anthem drama: Oilers stick with tradition as Panthers face backlash over botched performance
2025 Stanley Cup anthem drama (Getty Images) As the Florida Panthers and Edmonton Oilers prepare to battle for the 2025 Stanley Cup, a quieter but deeply symbolic tradition takes center stage before the puck even drops: the national anthems. With teams from both Canada and the U.S. vying for hockey's highest honor, the dual performances of 'O Canada' and 'The Star-Spangled Banner' set the emotional tone—and fan expectations are sky-high. Robert Clark leads Rogers Place with a people-first performance that stirs emotion and unity For the first two games in Edmonton, longtime anthem performer Robert Clark will once again step into the stands, not the spotlight. This marks his 12th season with the Oilers, and he's earned respect not just for his vocal prowess but for turning the anthem into a shared fan experience. 'When we first started doing it in 2017, we came together and thought that this would be an awesome tribute, but also let's make it our own and put me in the crowd,' Clark told The Edmonton Journal. And while Canadian protocol usually puts 'O Canada' first, Clark sings the U.S. anthem before Canada's—energizing the crowd with each note. Oilers forward Evander Kane noted, 'A Canadian crowd always has a little extra energy and buzz, and the anthem's the last thing before the puck drops… He does a great job doing that. ' Panthers face anthem backlash as fans await confirmation of this year's singer Things are murkier in Florida, where the Game 3 anthem singer remains a mystery. After backlash from fans over The Voice Season 27 winner Adam David's underwhelming playoff performance, the pressure is on. His slow tempo and unclear lyrics drew criticism and frustration during a crucial Eastern Conference Final matchup. With past performances by talents like Alanis Morissette and Brooke Alexx still fresh in fans' minds, the bar is high. Will the Panthers opt for redemption with a powerhouse vocalist like Pranysqa Mishra or VËR, or gamble on a new face?

Thunder's Gilgeous-Alexander hungry to cap MVP season with NBA crown
Oklahoma City superstar Shai Gilgeous-Alexander has piled up the individual accolades in leading the Thunder to the NBA Finals, but the Canadian guard says a title triumph against the Indiana Pacers is the prize that matters. "I don't play for the individual stuff, I don't play for anything else besides winning I never have in my whole life," Gilgeous-Alexander said Wednesday, a day before the Thunder host the Pacers in game one of the best-of-seven championship series. From youth basketball in Canada through university basketball in the United States, Gilgeous-Alexander said, his focus has been on winning titles. "Now I'm 26, I want to win the NBA championship," he said. "It's always about winning for me." With that goal in his sights, Gilgeous-Alexander delivered a spectacular season that saw him supplant Denver Nuggets star Nikola Jokic as the NBA Most Valuable Player. "SGA" averaged 32.7 points, 6.4 assists, 5.0 rebounds. 1.7 steals and 1.0 blocked shots per game in leading the Thunder to an NBA-best 68 regular-season wins. He became the first player to lead the league in games with at least 20 points , 30 points , 40 points and 50 points in a season since James Harden in 2018-19. Named MVP of the Western Conference finals after the Thunder dispatched the Minnesota Timberwolves in five games, Gilgeous-Alexander could become the first league scoring champion since Shaquille O'Neal in 2000 to win the NBA title in the same season. Gilgeous-Alexander said it had been "a long week to wait" since polishing off Anthony Edwards and the Timberwolves which followed a seven-game victory over Jokic and the Nuggets in the conference semi-finals. He acknowledged after the conference semis that he'd been nervous in the run-up to game seven but that experience has only helped him in the build-up to the Finals. "As these playoffs go on, you get better in controlling the situations, controlling your emotions. You understand what's coming," he said. "I just figured out how to navigate through all the emotions and the nerves and the waiting process, which is just plugging into my loved ones, try not to think about it so much, stress about it so much just enjoy life and stay in the moment." In addition to not looking too far forward, Gilgeous-Alexander said he is also not yet looking back on what has been an historic season for the Thunder. "I've been so focused on just game one," he said. "Trying to be the best version of myself for this group and trying to make sure that we're clicking on all cylinders on the biggest stage of our careers has been on the forefront of my mind and all I do worry about when I worry about basketball." bb/rcw
