Lance Stroll hit the wall during second practice in Canada, leading to significant damage to his Aston Martin.

Lance Stroll’s first day back in action for Aston Martin at the Canadian Grand Prix did not end the way he might have hoped after suffering a crash in second practice.

The Canadian – who recently underwent a procedure on his wrist, having sat out the last race on the calendar in Spain – experienced some understeer in his AMR25 before kissing the wall, leaving him with a broken front left wheel.
