Lance Stroll is in a race against time to recover from his injuries in time to feature at the first race of the season.
The Canadian has already been ruled out of pre-season testing this week after an accident befell him while cycling in Spain. His Aston Martin team announced on Monday that Stroll had been sidelined, though chose to withhold details of his injuries.
Felipe Drugovich has been called up to replace the 24-year-old for testing. He will share duties with another of the team's new recruits for 2023, Fernando Alonso, who is preparing for his first season with Aston Martin at the age of 41.
