Lance Stroll has opened up on his heroic effort at the Bahrain Grand Prix as the Aston Martin man defied medics to finish the race in sixth.
On February 18, just two weeks before the season opening race, the Canadian driver suffered a harrowing bike accident while training in Spain. Scans showed fractures in both his wrists, his left hand, and in the big toe on his right foot.
The injuries ruled him out of all three days of pre-season testing the following week, replaced by Formula 2 champion Felipe Drugovich. The Brazilian also seemed set to deputise in Bahrain and beyond, amid speculation the 24-year-old would be ruled out for a number of events.
