Lance Stroll will miss Singapore Grand Prix

Lance Stroll and Aston Martin have decided the Canadian will not race in Sunday’s Singapore Grand Prix, following a huge crash in qualifying.

Stroll was trying to set a fast time to go into Q2 when he suffered a snap of oversteer in the last corner at Marina Bay after running over the kerbs, sending the Canadian into the barriers. The car suffered significant damage, with Stroll getting out of the car unaided and later being passed fit by the medical team.

However, the team said Stroll was still feeling the after-effects of the crash and they have thus decided it is better for him to focus on full recovering. “Following Lance’s crash in qualifying during the Singapore Grand Prix, Lance and Aston Martin have jointly agreed that he will not participate in the Singapore Grand Prix this evening.
