The image impressed this Saturday. During the first qualifying session for the Singapore Grand Prix, Lance Stroll lost control of his vehicle in the final corner. His car hit the wall before bouncing and returning to the track, with a wheel torn off and the front heavily damaged.
Still feeling the after-effects of the crash, the Canadian driver will not start the fifteenth Grand Prix of the season, scheduled for this Sunday at 2 p.m., as Aston Martin announced in the morning. “The whole team was relieved that Lance was able to get out of the car after the accident,” the British manufacturer revealed in a press release. Our priority now is for him to make a full and speedy recovery. Together we decided […] that he would fully concentrate on his return for the Japanese Grand Prix next weekend. »

Aston Martin boss Mike Krack also said Stroll’s car would have to undergo extensive repairs following the incident. Ninth in the driver standings, the Canadian will not be replaced.
