The FIA has confirmed Aston Martin has changed most, if not all, of
the chassis on Lance Stroll's AMR25 after the Canadian's scary
crash in FP2 at the Dutch Grand Prix. The Silverstone squad broke
curfew to replace the survival cell of his car, the first of two
allowed instances for the team over the course of the season. Only
a matter of minutes into the second hour of running at Circuit
Zandvoort, the 26-year-old slammed into the wall on the exit of
Turn 3, in an impact eerily similar to Daniel Ricciardo's two years
earlier. The Australian driver injured his hand in that incident,
but thankfully, Stroll was okay, despite the heavy hit - although
his car was not. The right-hand corners were ripped off in the
collision with the barriers, with the survival cell damaged,
therefore necessitating the change. It is not yet clear whether a
gearbox change was required, but the three-time podium finisher's
car is expected to be ready for the start of FP3.
