The 24-year-old Canadian lost control of his Aston Martin through the final corner at the end of Q1 🦄and smashed into the b𒆙arriers, causing extensive damage to his car. 

Despite emerging from the violent 150mph crash unscathed and being cleared by the on-site medical team, Stroll withdrew from the event after Ast🌃on Martin said he was “still sore”. 

Speaking to media on his return to the F1 paddock ahead of this weekend’s Japanese Grand Prix, Stroll expl🌃ained his call. 

“Much better than I felt🔴 on Sunday, I’m feeling OK now,” he𓂃 said.

“[The feeling was] just everywhere. I was fine, I was healthy to race, but I wasn’t physically feeling go😼od enough to do Singapore, which is the hardes🍎t race of the year.

“I felt it creeping up on me on Saturday night and I knew it wasn’t going to be fun waking up on 🃏Sunday.▨”

Stroll added: “I went through all the concussion protocols and did a🤪ll my tests and stuff.

“They just [said], ‘See how you feel later in the night’ and all that stuff and then make a 𒀰decision tomorrow.”

Stroll, who was due to start 20th and last, insisted he had💫 no regrets missing out onಌ a potential recovery drive to the points. 

“There’s always an opportunity on Sunday to race and try to sc🌳🧔ore some points,” Stroll said. 

“We 👍෴saw drivers come from pretty far back on Sunday and manage to climb through the field to score points.

“You never know what’ll happen. If I would🎃’ve felt fine and really good, I would’ve raced. 

"But I just didn’t really feel l♉ike it was the right thing to do and I think it would’ve delayed my recoverℱy to coming here and feeling 100%.”
