Lance Stroll put in extra effort into his return this weekend. He raced extra laps at the Circuit Paul Ricard to make sure he is good to go.

“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.”

According to the official statement released by Aston Martin F1-

“Lance 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.”

Interestingly, neither of them have released an official answer to the allegations. Lance Stroll’s absence was Spain was rumored to be a temper tantrum from the driver. There were many reports about his behaviour not being up to the mark. Even though, the team is racing with Lance Stroll this weekend, they haven’t mentioned any details about the previous rumors.
