Lance Stroll is still the big doubt for the Bahrain GP. The Canadian, partner of Fernando Alonso in Aston Martincould not test the promising single-seater together with the Asturian in the tests held in Sakhir, due to an injury that occurred while training on a bicycle.
He continues to recover, but the plan continues as planned. Because the British team intended first to get on the simulator to see if he was or was not after the accident.
And that’s what he’s going to do, just like has confirmed ‘SoyMotor’. Now, it remains to be seen whether or not he is in a position to go from the simulator to the car and compete for three days in Bahrain.
Aston Martin, second team at Sakhir?
It has not given a single turn in the AMR23, beyond those made on the ‘filming day’. The car works, with some times both in short run as above all in long run who have called, and not exactly little, attention.
Because there are already those who see Aston Martin not only leading the middle zone, but with options to fight against the Mercedes and, perhaps, the Ferrari. Antonio Lobato, one of the most authoritative voices in F1, already said that “the choice of enemies has changed”after Alonso’s mock race.
And it went further, because it places those in the United Kingdom as the second team for Sakhir after Red Bull.
Red Bull keeps an eye on Aston
The ones with energy drinks they are already warned, and in mercedes too. The international press, in case there were any doubts, talks about Real podium options for Fernando Alonso.
The Asturian, in his reflections on the car, stated that he missed Stroll’s work in the development of the single-seater in the tests, being the only one of the two who was already in the team in 2022.
We’ll see if he can get on AMR23 in Bahrain or not. If not, the team has already decided who will drive the car together with Fernando Alonso.
