F1 Bahrain GP: Lance Stroll reveals agony in desperate team radio message
Stroll wꦰas forced to miss the three days of pre-season testing in Bahrain due to the injuries he sustained following a cycling accident.
As a result, Stroll’s participation this weekend was in doubt, with reigning F2 champion Felipe Drugovich waiting on🅘 the sidelines in case the Canadian was unable to drive.
Stroll was declared fit to drive ahead of the weekend, returning to action for the team in Friday's twoꦉ practice sessions.
In terms of outright perfo﷽rmance, Stroll 🌞performed solidly given that he missed all three days of testing, ending both sessions sixth overall.
However, it wasn’t without difficulties, with Stroll visibly struggling to turn his steering wheel&nbs♎p;at Turn 1.
In an exchange with As꧋ton Martin race engineer Ben Michell, Stroll was unable🧸 to follow his instructions during FP2.
Michဣell said: “Lance, we need to compromise [Turn] 1 to have a 𒆙better line in [Turn] 2.”
Sওtroll replied: “I can’t man, I 𒈔can’t. With the hands.”
During second practice, Stroll had to adjust how he held the steering🏅 wheel into Turn 1.
Given Aston Martin’s competitiveness this weekend - teammate 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Fernando Alonso topped sec😼o🌠nd practice - it’s no surprise that Stroll is eager to race in Bahrain.
However, the team may hav🤪e a decision to make if Stroll is struggling♐ to drive safely.
