Lance Stroll intends to race at the Bahrain Grand Prix despite only having surgery last week on a broken wrist sustained in a pre-season training accident.
The Aston Martin racer was cycling in Spain when he suffered a crash, leaving him in need of surgical intervention. He has pins in his right wrist while the left also sustained some damage, leading to severe doubts over his chances of racing this weekend.
Felipe Drugovich stepped in for Stroll during pre-season testing. Given his injuries and the fact the Formula 2 champion was able to get some experience of the AMR23 under his belt, it was assumed that Drugovich would most likely be racing in the Bahrain race.
