Lance Stroll cleared to race at Canadian GP after ‘successful medical procedure'
Aston Martin driver Lance Stroll of Canada steers his back to his team garage during the third practice session at the Australian Formula One Grand Prix at Albert Park, in Melbourne, Australia, Saturday, March 15, 2025. (AP Photo/Scott Barbour) Lance Stroll has been cleared to race at the Canadian Grand Prix this weekend after missing the Spanish GP because of pain in his hand and wrist, Formula 1 team Aston Martin said Wednesday. 'I am excited to get back behind the wheel with the team for my home Grand Prix this weekend,' the Montreal native said in a statement released by his team. 'I was always going to fight hard to be ready to race in front of the Montreal crowd.' Aston Martin said Stroll underwent a 'successful medical procedure to resolve the symptoms' and that he completed some laps in France this week in an old F1 car. 'I'm feeling good after my procedure and put some laps in at Paul Ricard this week to prepare,' the 26-year-old Stroll said. The team did not specify which hand was hurting Stroll. It previously said that he had been experiencing pain for six weeks and that doctors believed the problem was related to a medical procedure he underwent in 2023 following a cycling accident to treat fractures and a broken toe. Stroll has scored 14 points this season while teammate Fernando Alonso has struggled, earning just 2 points. Aston Martin was not allowed to replace Stroll in Spain since he had qualified for the race. This report by The Canadian Press was first published June 11, 2025.

Sudbury unveils list of roads for its large patch repair program
A pothole is seen in Sudbury in this file photo. Greater Sudbury has put together a list of roadways that frequently have potholes and would benefit from large, full-lane asphalt replacement, rather than just pothole repair. Greater Sudbury has put together a list of roadways that frequently have potholes and would benefit from large, full-lane asphalt replacement, rather than just pothole repair. 'By intervening in localized areas of distress, large asphalt patches help to restore structural integrity and prevent further degradation of the pavement,' said a staff report headed to the June 16 operations committee. Pothole damage reimbursement The city has set aside $11.7 million for the large asphalt patches program, which will run until 2027. More help on the way for Sudbury's pothole problem Greater Sudbury has put together a list of roadways that frequently have potholes and would benefit from large, full-lane asphalt replacement, rather than just pothole repair. 'This approach enhances safety and ride quality for road users while deferring the need for more extensive and costly rehabilitation or reconstruction.' The city has set aside $11.7 million for the large asphalt patches program, which will run until 2027. To determine which roads would benefit the most, staff analyzed data from last winter, looking for the busiest areas where potholes repeatedly popped up. Work to begin next month Other criteria included sites that are difficult to repair – such as intersections – major roadways and problem areas that are 'more time-consuming to travel to.' A contract has been tendered with the work this year expected to begin next month and run until November. The patches are normally a full lane in width and run between 50 and 500 metres, depending on the conditions. 'Approximately 83,000 square metres will be completed, which is equivalent to 23 lane kilometres at a 3.5 metres lane width,' the report said. 'This represents a 45 per cent increase in asphalt patches to be completed with the approved budget.' A full list of the 27 roads selected for the program can be found here, and includes roads in Sudbury (Barry Downe Road, Lasalle Boulevard, The Kingsway), the Valley (Cote Boulevard, Deschesne Road), Rayside (Errington Avenue, Notre Dame Avenue), Skead Road and the Garson-Coniston Road.
