Montreal’s Lance Stroll set to race at Canadian Grand Prix after injury setback

By Canadian Press on June 11, 2025.

MONTREAL — Montreal’s Lance Stroll has been cleared to race in this weekend’s Canadian Grand Prix after missing the Spanish GP due to pain in his hand and wrist.

The Aston Martin driver had qualified in Spain but was withdrawn on medical advice the night before the June 1 race.

He later underwent surgery and completed test laps in an older F1 car at France’s Circuit Paul Ricard.

The pain was believed to be linked to injuries from a 2023 cycling crash.

Reserve drivers Felipe Drugovich and Valtteri Bottas were considered as possible fill-ins if Stroll wasn’t fit.

The Canadian sits 12th in the standings heading into his home race at Circuit Gilles Villeneuve.
