JAKARTA - Aston Martin is certain to be not optimal in undergoing the 2023 Formula 1 pre-season test in Bahrain. The reason is, they cannot reduce Lance Stroll.

The Aston Martin racer is confirmed to be absent due to injury. It was the result of an accident experienced by Stroll while cycling, as reported on Monday, February 20, local time.

This is clearly detrimental to Aston Villa. The reason is, F1 only held one pre-season test session this time.

The test will be held in Bahrain on February 23-25. The team and drivers will make the best use of the three days to develop and perfect their car this season before the opening race is held at the same circuit on March 5.

With Stroll absent, veteran Fernando Alonso, who has moved from the Alpine team, will be the focus of Aston Martin during the pre-season test.

Stroll himself gave news regarding his condition. The Canadian racer is determined to recover soon and is ready to play in the opening series.

"I had an accident while practicing on my bicycle to prepare for this season," said Stroll via social media, as reported by Antara, Tuesday, February 21.

"I am determined to go back to racing and can't wait to have this season with my team. I am motivated to get up from these obstacles as quickly as possible," he continued.
