Stroll stressed he is confident he can race ♊with pins in his right wrist following surgery after conducting a successful test on the team’s simulator. 

"With these injuries ✅it's always hard to tell, but the first few days were rough,” Stroll said as he spoke to media for the first time since his accident. 

"It looked like it was going to be tough but then the last ജfour or five days, it's really been improving a lot every day.

"I got cleared by the doctors and they're confident I can go racing and that the bones are looking goo꧋d."

"It hurts a bit, but it feels good," he added. "It feels solid and nothing that I ha𝄹ven't had before.

"I really felt like I could drive normally with a little bit more discomfort, but nothing that's stopping me from driv🦩ing, like any excruciating pain or anything like that.”

"If I felt like it was not smart, if I felt like it was a risk of injuring myself more, or if I felt like my bones weren't ready, I wouldn't do𒀰 it.

"Fꦡormula 1 is a long season, there's 23 races. It's not all about being here in Bahrain, bu🔯t I do feel confident, the doctors feel confident, so here I am."
