Lance Stroll recently shared that he made the decision to continue racing despite experiencing pain in his wrist and hand for a few months. The Aston Martin driver suffered injuries from a cycling accident earlier this year, which kept him out of pre-season testing. However, he made a remarkable comeback at the Bahrain Grand Prix, finishing in an impressive P6 just days after the crash.

Stroll's hand and wrist issues eventually became too severe, leading him to withdraw from the Spanish Grand Prix for a medical procedure. This decision left his team with only one car on the grid, with Fernando Alonso finishing in ninth place. Questions arose about why Stroll was allowed to race in the first place.

Despite speculation and criticism, Stroll emphasized that it was his choice to continue racing. He expressed disappointment at missing the Barcelona race but stated that the medical intervention was necessary. The 26-year-old confirmed his return for the Canadian Grand Prix alongside Alonso after completing a fitness test at the Paul Ricard circuit.

Stroll is looking forward to racing in front of his home crowd in Montreal, aiming to replicate his success from the previous year. He expressed gratitude for the support from fans and hopes to secure more points in the upcoming race.
