Lance Stroll will race the Bahrain GP with Aston Martin, the first race of the 2023 World Championship scheduled for this weekend.
The Canadian rider, Fernando Alonso's teammate, had a bicycle accident and underwent surgery on his right wrist in recent days.
His presence in the first grand prix of the 2023 World Championship has been in doubt until today, when the go-ahead from the FIA arrived following the medical checks the driver underwent.
Stroll arrived in Sakhir yesterday evening.
Felipe Drugovich and Stoffel Vandoorne had been pre-alerted to take his place, who are still available to the team.
