Lance Stroll’s Unsteady Return Ahead of Canadian Grand Prix
Montreal, Canada – Lance Stroll faced media scrutiny during the pre-race press conference ahead of the Canadian Grand Prix, following a troubling absence due to a wrist injury. The Aston Martin driver, who withdrew from the previous race in Spain, revealed he has been cleared to race but appeared emotionally subdued while discussing recent events.
Stroll’s demeanor contrasted sharply with the expectations surrounding a home race. Despite being deemed fit after undergoing treatment for an old injury from a pre-season cycling accident, he presented a lack of enthusiasm, likening his return to the discomfort of a dental appointment. “It’s just the old injury that I had a couple of years ago. Just started to bug me again," Stroll explained, keeping details about the medical procedure vague.
When pressed about his confidence in the injury’s recurrence, he responded, “Pretty confident. Should be good,” but offered little else. His curt replies suggested a mix of frustration and discomfort, particularly as he addressed the aftermath of his recent performance, which included reports of his anger manifesting in destructive behavior within the team’s garage.
Acknowledging his frustration with his wrist’s impact on his driving, Stroll admitted, “I knew that Sunday was going to be tricky… pretty frustrated about it.” Despite a few flashes of passion, notably regarding his early experiences at Circuit Gilles Villeneuve, the overall sentiment remained one of discontent.
As Stroll prepares to compete on home soil, his emotional and physical readiness will be closely monitored, with fans looking for a better performance following his Spanish GP withdrawal.
