Aston Martin driver Lance Stroll will drive in his home-nation race, the Canadian Grand Prix, this weekend after undergoing a procedure to treat pain in his hand and wrist.

Stroll, 26, missed the Spanish Grand Prix on June 1.

The pain is believed to have stemmed from a 2023 medical procedure that was related to a cycling accident.

'We are pleased to confirm that Lance Stroll will be back with the team competing in Montreal this weekend,' a team statement read on Wednesday, declaring him ready to drive the 70 laps of the Circuit Gilles-Villeneuve in Montreal.

'He had a successful medical procedure to resolve the symptoms he has been experiencing and completed some laps in an old F1 car at Paul Ricard earlier this week.

'Lance is feeling fit and healthy, and is excited to compete in front of his home crowd.'

Stroll said he was looking forward to being in the driver's seat.

'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.

'I'm feeling good after my procedure and put some laps in at Paul Ricard this week to prepare. Thanks for all the support, see you guys this weekend.'Stroll has 14 points on the F1 circuit this season, putting him in 12th place. His achieved his best position of 2025 in the season-opening Australian Grand Prix when he finished sixth.

He has made 175 starts in Formula 1. His highest finish is third place, which he achieved three times.

Stroll's billionaire father, Lawrence Stroll, owns the Aston Martin team.
