Aston's injured Stroll pulls out of Spanish GP
ASTON MARTIN announced late 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.

Red Bull's Tsunoda baffled after qualifying last in Spain
Yuki Tsunoda was left baffled on Saturday after qualifying 20th and last for the Spanish Grand Prix in his Red Bull, while teammate Max Verstappen was third. The Japanese driver had received support in his struggles from team boss Christian Horner on Friday, but on Saturday hit a new low that confirmed how challenging the car is for anyone other than the four-time world champion. Last season, Sergio Perez experienced a series of problems and poor results which led to his exit and this year began with Liam Lawson in the second car, but for only two races. Tsunoda was promoted from Red Bull's junior RB team but has struggled to shine and his best result is ninth in Bahrain. He was 17th in Monaco last Sunday. Apart from being outperformed comprehensively by Verstappen, the team's second drivers all appear to find the car very difficult to drive. In the first qualifying session Tsunoda was eliminated after lapping more than half a second slower than Verstappen. "It's pretty tough," he said. "Throughout the weekend, I tried to solve the issue as much as possible. I was mentioning from FP1 (first practice) that I had some strange issue and that it was just not gripping at all. He added that he had no feeling with the car. "So far what I feel is just the car is eating its tires a lot and every lap, whatever I do, I have degradation," he added. Horner said: "We need to have a good look at it because I don't really understand it. Let's see if he's picked up some damage or something because it's unusual to be that far off." Tsunoda could be under pressure to keep his seat from RB rookie Isack Hadjar, who has been in impressive form and finished sixth in Monaco.
