Aston's injured Stroll pulls out of Spanish GP
ASTON MARTIN announced late Saturday that Lance Stroll would miss the Spanish Grand Prix with an injured hand.
The Canadian was due to start on the seventh row of Sunday's grid after qualifying in 14th behind McLaren pole-sitter Oscar Piastri.
'Over the course of the past six weeks Lance has been experiencing pain in his hand and wrist, which his medical consultant believes is in relation to the procedure he underwent in 2023,' a statement from Aston Martin explained.
'As a result his medical team have confirmed that he will not race tomorrow (Sunday) and he will undergo a procedure to rectify these issues before focusing on his recovery.'
Stroll suffered fractures and a broken toe after a cycling accident during the 2023 pre-season, which required surgery followed by a process of rehabilitation.
The 26-year-old, whose father Lawrence Stroll owns the team, is in his seventh season with Aston.
He has picked up 14 points this year.
His celebrated two-time former world champion teammate Fernando Alonso sets off from the fifth row in front of his home fans hoping to secure his first points of a disappointing season.

Brad Pitt Drives Real McLaren F1 Car at Austin Circuit
BRAD Pitt, whose new F1 movie is out next week, has now driven a Formula One car for real after testing a McLaren at Austin's Circuit of the Americas. The reigning world champions confirmed the Hollywood A lister drove a 2023 McLaren MCL60 car at the Texas track on Thursday. Media reports said the British-based team had been carrying out a private test with F1 regular Lando Norris and F2 driver Alex Dunne. It was the first time 61-year-old Pitt, who plays the fictional racing driver Sonny Hayes in the Apple Originals movie, had driven a real Formula One car on track. The cars used in the making of the film were Formula Two cars, modified by Mercedes to look like real grand prix racers. Champions McLaren had teased the drive on Thursday with a social media post of overalls with the initials BP and the caption 'It's a Sonny day in Austin'. Seven-times world champion Lewis Hamilton, a co-producer of the movie, said in March that Pitt had shown real speed while testing the F2 cars. 'Watching Brad drive around at speeds over 180 miles an hour was really impressive to see because it's not something you can just learn overnight,' he said. 'The dedication and the focus that Brad put into this process has been amazing to witness.'
