Lance Stroll registered a commendable sixth-place finish in Bahrain and earned eight valuable points for Aston Martin
Lance Stroll’s incredible story from being bedridden due to injuries all over his body to finishing P6 in a space of 13 days has taken social media by storm. The Aston Martin driver shared a detailed account of his road to recovery on Instagram and Twitter following a commendable outing in Bahrain last weekend.
Stroll particularly thanked his team of doctors and staff at Aston Martin for the incredible work they put in to make Stroll fit for the season-opening race at the Bahrain International Circuit.
Stroll had suffered injuries after a bike crash just ahead of the pre-season test in Bahrain. The Aston Martin was training in Spain for the new season and the unfortunate accident occurred while he was on his bike. As a result of this incident, Stroll missed the F1 pre-Season test run in Bahrain from 23-25 February and there were minimal chances of him being fit in time for the season-opener. However, he did recover, finished P6 and it is nothing short of a miracle.
Let us take a look at some of the reactions from fans on social media.
