Lance Stroll was not in a particularly talkative mood as he was quizzed about the hand and wrist injury which ruled꧒ him out of the F1 Spanish Grand Prix.

Stroll was forced to pull out of the last race in Barcelona after experiencing pain in his hands that was a legacy of an operation following a cycling accident ahead of the 2023 F1 season.

Few details of Stroll’s condition and recovery were provided by 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Aston Martin but the team confirmed he would compete in ꦦhis home race at this weekend’s Canadian Grand Prix on Wednesday.

Stroll, who completed some laps in an old F1 car at Paul Ricard earlier this week, was quiet when he faced questioꩲns about the injury.

“It was bothering me for a few races at Imola, Monaco and then Barcelona was just really brutal throughout the weekend,” he said on Thursday in Mon🃏treal.

“I got the procedure done and drove this week and I wa🐟s feeling pretty good, so I’m confidentﷺ.

Stroll said it hurt “a little, but it’s fine”, addin𝔉g it was “just the old injury I had a couple of years ago ju♐st started to bug me again. So got it sorted.”

The Canadian downplayed ꦐhis attempts to drive through the pain but was not keen to divulge too much information.

“As an athlete in any sport, I think you're always trying to push through pain, discomfort as muc♍h as you can to try and get a good result at the end of the weekend,” he said.

“In th𒆙at situation, I was struggling and I was trying to push through it, but I didn't feel sensible to push anymore. It felt like the damage was get🐟ting worse.

“I needed to do something more serious about it. I don't really want to get into detail about what I had to do and how I had to do it because it's just my medical privacy and I like to keep that kind of c🅘onfidential.

“All I 🦩can say for sure is I'm feelin🔯g a lot better and looking forward to the race weekend.”

What really happened in Spain?

The BBC reported that Stroll had lost his temper in the team’s garage after he was knocked out oꦉf qualifying in Q2.

Stroll failed to get weight in the FIA garage and was given aไ warning by the stewards, before Aston Martin announced his withdrawal late🌊r that evening.

Aston Martin confirmed to that Stroll’s injury was unrelated to the episode th♏at is understood to have taken place in the team’s gar♔age.

Asked if he was frustrated in the moment, Stroll admitted: “I was frustrated for sure. Frustrated about my wrists and the last ꦓthree races from Imola and it was just inhibiting my driving.

"I knew that Sunday was going to be tricky, probably impossible. And at that point I was, yeah, pretty frustrated a꧋bout it.”
