Stroll's operation was not difficult and was successful.

      According to the official version, Lance Stroll did not start the Spanish Grand Prix due to medical contraindications, although there were disagreements with the team last weekend, and we talked about it. It is likely that the unusual situation in which the Canadian Aston Martin racer found himself last weekend should be considered in the complex.

      The Spanish press provides several details related to the surgery on his right arm, which Lance actually underwent on Monday to resolve problems related to the consequences of an injury sustained in February 2023.

      The operation took place at the Desheus Clinic in Barcelona, which is described as a unique multidisciplinary medical center in Spain, as the hospital is private, but it has such a high reputation that it has received university status.

      Stroll was operated on by Dr. Javier Mir, a world-renowned specialist in the field of traumatology. He was the one who treated Lance in 2023, so he knows the problem with the rider's arm.

      Everything went well, but the team is in no hurry to make any official statements about the timing of Lance's return to service. But the operation itself was not too difficult, so it is likely that the driver will have time to recover in time for his home Canadian Grand Prix, which will be held in Montreal from June 13 to 15.

      If the rehabilitation still drags on, then Felipe Drugovich, the team's reserve driver, is ready to drive the second Aston Martin car, despite the fact that he planned to go to the start of the 24 Hours of Le Mans as part of the Cadillac Whelen team and pilot its hypercar with Jack Aitken and Frederick Vesti.

      But the Brazilian immediately stated that his "priority has always been Formula 1," and Aston Martin racing director Mike Krak also confirmed that, under the terms of the contract, they have priority for Drugovich's services.
