Aston Martin driver Lance Stroll will race in the upcoming Canadian Grand Prix after recently undergoing a medical procedure for hand and wrist pain, the team announced Wednesday.

"I am excited to get back behind the wheel with the team for my home Grand Prix this weekend. I was always going to fight hard to be ready to race in front of the Montreal crowd," Stroll said through the team's X account. "I'm feeling good after my procedure and put some laps in at Paul Ricard this week to prepare."

Stroll withdrew from the Spanish Grand Prix due to pain in his hand and wrist. Aston Martin said at the time that the 26-year-old would have a procedure to address the issue. The team's medical consultant believes Stroll's discomfort stemmed from surgery he needed following a cycling accident in 2023.

Stroll participated in the Spanish Grand Prix qualifying and was scheduled to start P14 before withdrawing. Aston Martin couldn't replace the driver since Stroll took part in qualifying.

Aston Martin sits ninth in the constructors' championship with 16 points, 14 of which have come from Stroll. He ranks 12th in the drivers' championship.
