Aston Martin had a spectacular display in the 2023 Formula 1 season with Fernando Alonso on the podium and Spear Stroll sixth. The development of his car promises to be spectacular, but not everything went smoothly at the Bahrain GP, ​​as the Canadian suffered a serious accident which almost left him out of a race for a long time.

The reality is that he still hasn’t recovered 100%, as he suffered a fall with some details during the race. For example, in his little clash with Fernando Alonso: “My wrists were on fire after that. I shed a few tears“, admitted the Canadian.

The past few weeks for Lance Stroll have been a real rollercoaster ride, one in which the journey hasn’t been much fun to say the least. The good news is that he is recovering favorably and has opened up a bit about this complicated process of only 13 days.

Lance Stroll’s journey to race the Bahrain Grand Prix

Lance Stroll has decided to tell what happened during and after the accident, after days of uncertainty and, above all, little information. The Canadian rider has revealed he suffered not one, but multiple broken bones on Saturday February 18, when he fell off his bike.

“The scans showed that he had a fracture and displacement of the right wrist, a fracture of the left wrist, a partial fracture of the right hand and another fracture of the right big toe. With the start of the season fast approaching, the timing couldn’t have been worse.“.

All of this was reflected as soon as Lance Stroll got in the car in Bahrain. Formula 1 fans and pundits were worried about the driver’s health, as he couldn’t even get out of the car on his own. Fortunately, everything went well and the Canadian even finished sixth in the race.

But to talk about Grand Prix is ​​to get ahead. Lance Stroll thought he’d run to Saudi Arabia, but got his arms and feet rehabilitated in days. Strength and strengthening exercises were essential for the Canadian to be in Bahrain.

And while that may seem short, Stroll proudly shared his process. “My trip. Thank you very much for your support over the past few weeks.“, is the message that accompanied the small column and the video of what he has experienced in recent weeks.

It’s also no secret that Lance Stroll is far from a fan-favorite driver; however, with this story he gained recognition of thousands. It only remains to wait to see him on the track and see if he will take advantage of the performance of his Aston Martin to reach the podium for the fourth time in his career.
