Doubt clouds the narrative surrounding Lance Stroll's wrist injury, which led to his withdrawal from the Spanish Grand Prix. Just days after competing in qualifying at Barcelona's Circuit de Catalunya, Stroll's participation came to a shocking halt.
After qualifying 14th, Stroll was called to see the stewards for skipping a weigh-in and taking an incorrect route. Aston Martin later revealed that he would be sitting out the race due to severe pain in his right hand and wrist, stemming from a prior surgery following a serious cycling accident.
Adding to the drama, the Canadian driver faces uncertainty for his home race in Montréal next weekend as he may require another medical procedure.
Felipe Drugovich is poised to step in as a possible replacement, but he has his own commitments at the 24 Hours of Le Mans.
Sky Sports F1 commentator David Croft voiced his skepticism over Aston Martin's statements, questioning the decision to put Stroll in the car if his fitness was in question. "If they’ve been monitoring this for six weeks, why not bring in Drugovich instead of risking Stroll in qualifying?" he asked.
Croft noted that Stroll showcased promising form in Q1, where he finished 7th, raising further doubts about his injury's severity.
Stroll's emotional fallout post-qualifying also sparked speculation. Reports suggest he may have vented his frustration with a thrown helmet in the garage, apparently leading to damage.
Contrary to these claims, mechanic Harry Rush denied any allegations of Stroll shouting or swearing at team members, insisting there was no animosity.
Croft, however, shared his take on the matter, recounting a history of Stroll's on-track temper, including past incidents of him punching walls in the team garage. Is there more to this story than meets the eye? The F1 community is buzzing with intrigue!
