Racing Point has confirmed that Lance Stroll, who was replaced by Nico Hulkenberg in Germany, is back in the car in Portugal. The team will let you know on Twitter.
A few days before Formula 1 starts at the circuit in Portimão, Racing Point now says his 21-year-old driver is feeling better. “We expect him to be back in the car for Portugal,” the team added.
Doubts about Stroll’s absence
Nico Hulkenberg replaced the sick Stroll, but several reporters and drivers doubted whether Stroll really had a stomach ache. “Apart from the corona virus, what else can a driver make of not taking part in a Grand Prix?” Ziggo Sport reporter Jack Plooij wondered. “Yes, most drivers even race with a sore stomach. When things get really bad, you can always hit the pits. Some have said that Lance had a fight with his father. Presumably he wanted to fly a helicopter from the hotel, but his father did not allow it. So he refused to race, “added Plooij.
