    Remember when he got back in record time from that accident and did the Bahrain race zonked out on painkillers and it was actually one of his best drives? Maybe they’ll need him back in surgery to unlock his powers again.

    Oof that sounds bad. He did the first few GPs back then while still in pain, so withdrawing now (after quali) suggests major issues.

      So will they take the mirrors off the car for the reserve driver to keep it consistent?

      Which reserve driver? Stroll only realized after qualifying that he has pain since six weeks. His car is out of tomorrow’s GP.

          It was joke pointing out his history of collecting other drivers in self inflicted crashes.

          The mirrors part was. The reserve driver part needed clarification which I provided.

    I’m assuming that’ll put Stroll out for a while? Last time he got back in the seat pretty quick.

    Unfortunate for Drugovich that he can’t participate tomorrow, but he should be able to do Canada, maybe Austria and Great Britain.

    So how come there’s isn’t a reserve driver in his car? I thought that was the whole point of them…

      Qualifying is already over, and Stroll was the person to qualify. They can not put another driver into the car now. If the team doctor had ruled Stroll unfit before qualifying, the reseve driver could have taken his spot in qualifying and participated in the race.

    I mean, I hate to see the guy in pain, but now the rest of the grid doesn’t have to be.
