And I knew right away both wrists were crushed.
"He did that surgery on my right wrist and then put me in a cast on the left wrist," Stroll revealed. But rapid progress early last week meant his chances improved and as Mir gave him the go-ahead to travel to Bahrain, a painful simulator session in Silverstone confirmed he was able to drive.
