Aston Martin driver Lance Stroll will miss Sunday’s Spanish Grand Prix due to pain in his hand and wrist that will require surgery.
Stroll, who had qualified 14th for the race, underwent treatment on his wrist in 2023 and Aston Martin say his pain is related to that procedure.
The Canadian fell off his bike ahead of the 2023 season and missed pre-season testing.
Aston Martin said: “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.
“As a result his medical team have confirmed that he will not race tomorrow and he will undergo a procedure to rectify these issues before focusing on his recovery.”
