WATCH: Stroll crashes during second practice in Canada

Lance Stroll's return to action at the Canadian Grand Prix took an unfortunate turn during Friday's second practice session, as the Aston Martin driver crashed, bringing his session to an early end. The Canadian, who recently underwent a wrist procedure and missed the previous race in Spain, encountered understeer in his AMR25, leading to contact with the wall. The incident resulted in a broken front-left wheel on his car. Stroll initially attempted to nurse the damaged car back to the pits, but the extent of the damage forced him to pull off the track into an escape road, much to the concern of his home crowd watching from the grandstands. This setback will undoubtedly be a disappointing start to his home Grand Prix weekend, raising questions about the impact on his team's preparations and his own confidence as they head into Saturday's crucial qualifying session.
