'I think it was just getting too much': Aston Martin official gives Lance Stroll injury update, reveals Plan B
Image credit: Lance Stroll/Instagram Aston Martin driver Lance Stroll was missing from the Spanish Grand Prix final last weekend, where his teammate Fernando Alonso took ninth position with two points. He was dealing with pain in his hand and wrist after the Qualifying race in Spain, as a result of which Aston Martin had only one driver take part in the final race the next day. Now, more details of his hand condition and Aston Martin's Plan B have been revealed. What happened to Aston Martin driver Lance Stroll Aston Martin's Chief Trackside Officer, Mike Krack, told about Lance Stroll's health status and whether he will be able to take part in his home race, the Canadian Grand Prix in Montreal. Stroll is reportedly dealing with pain in his hand and wrist, which has a connection with the fractures he suffered in the 2023 cycling accident and the surgery he underwent for the same. Krack said about Stroll, 'We have seen it with Lance in 2023, when he fought his way back, they [the drivers] want to drive, they do not want to be out. Very often I think they drive with probably more pain than they would even admit, to be able to drive, because this is what they love to do. Over the last weeks, there was a mention here and there, but you are never aware how much it is, and over the weekend, I think it was just getting too much. " Further explaining how Stroll got the problem checked before the final race in Spain, he said, 'I think at the end of the day, on Saturday after Qualifying, Lance and his team decided it was better to go and check, go and check again, and the recommendation was better not to race.'

In case Stroll is unable to return, the team has reserve drivers Felipe Drugovich and Stoffel Vandoorne on standby. But there is a problem — the two are taking part in the 24 Hours of Le Mans, which is scheduled around the same time as the Canadian Grand Prix. Whether either of them will be asked to give up on that race for the F1 race remains to be seen.

Lewis Hamilton Just Snared His First Pole Position with Ferrari
"Hearst Magazines and Yahoo may earn commission or revenue on some items through these links." After a disappointing 10th-place finish at the 2025 Formula 1 season-opening Australian Grand Prix, Lewis Hamilton is certainly looking to bounce back this weekend in China. And the new Ferrari driver is off to a good start, after setting a record lap time on his way to securing pole position for the Sprint race at the Chinese Grand Prix. In the third qualifying session, Hamilton put on a set of soft tires and set a blistering lap time of 1:30.849. That was just enough to edge out the Red Bull of Max Verstappen by 0.018s. Oscar Piastri placed his McLaren in P3, while Hamilton's Ferrari teammate Charles Leclerc will round out the second row of the Sprint race on Saturday. According to a report on Hamilton was not expecting his Ferrari to be so quick. 'I'm just a bit gobsmacked, honestly. I'm a bit taken aback by it. I didn't know when we would get to this position,' said Hamilton after the session. This marks Hamilton's first pole with Ferrari, and only the second time in his illustrious career that he will start a Sprint race from P1. The last time was back in 2021 in Silverstone. Verstappen would end up winning that Sprint race; however, Hamilton would go on to win the Grand Prix the next day after he collided with Verstappen on the first lap, ending the race for the Dutch driver. China is the first of six circuits to host an F1 Sprint race in 2025. The Sprint race will run for 19 laps or 60 minutes; there are 36 championship points up for grabs at the Sprint race. The winner will receive eight points, P2 gets seven points, P3 gets six, and so on down to P8. Hamilton putting his car on pole shows that Ferrari has the pace this weekend to put up a serious challenge to the McLaren and Red Bull teams. However, the driver realizes there is still plenty of work to be done. "I'm hoping that we can hold onto it, but I think the McLarens are very, very fast, as is Max," Hamilton said about his chances this weekend. "But we're in a good position, we'll stay positive, we'll keep our heads high and keep pushing forwards.'You Might Also Like You Need a Torque Wrench in Your Toolbox Tested: Best Car Interior Cleaners The Man Who Signs Every Car
