Aston Martin confirms Lance Stroll to miss media day in Brazil

Aston Martin said Stroll is recovering well and expects him back for Friday practice after he missed mandatory media duties.

  • On Thursday, Aston Martin driver Lance Stroll will miss media day at the Sao Paulo Grand Prix while recovering from a viral infection contracted in Mexico; he is expected to return for practice on Friday.
  • The demanding Formula calendar is concluding the second of three grueling triple-headers, contributing to physical strain. "It is, of course, always quite tough on your body, like three weeks in a row," a driver said.
  • Stroll, currently 22nd in the standings, joins Charles Leclerc in skipping media duties. Leclerc is arriving late to Brazil following the birth of his first child, Bianca, earlier this week in Monaco.
  • Aston Martin endured a difficult weekend in Mexico with both Stroll and Fernando Alonso instructed to stop their cars in opening laps. The team hopes to move past these frustrations at Interlagos this weekend.
  • Stroll is expected to return for FP1 on Friday. The driver remains one of three competitors yet to register a point this season, alongside Valtteri Bottas and Sergio Perez.
