Lance Stroll suffered a massive crash at Turn 3 during the second
free practice session for the Dutch Grand Prix, instantly
triggering a red flag. The Aston Martin driver, who radioed his
team to confirm he is okay, locked up on entry into the banked
corner at Circuit Zandvoort, hitting the wall and destroying the
right-hand side of his AMR25. It appeared the Canadian was carrying
significant speed into the corner, and his front left wheel
momentarily left the tarmac, factors that seemingly caused the
crash, which was similar to Daniel Ricciardo's in 2023. The
eight-time grand prix winner injured his right hand in that
incident and was forced to miss five rounds whilst he recovered.
However, Stroll, who has battled wrist injuries of his own in
recent years, is believed to be okay. His Aston Martin team face a
considerable rebuild of his car. It is currently unclear what the
full extent of the damage is, but a gearbox replacement and chassis
change may be necessary - if not a full replacement of the survival
cell, or tub. The three-time podium finisher had been enjoying a
strong start to his weekend at Zandvoort, after going third fastest
in FP1.
