Lance Stroll has announced he is fit enough to race again for the Japanese Grand Prix. The Canadian went hard into the tyre pile during qualifying for the Singapore Grand Prix and therefore skipped Sunday's race. In Japan, however, Stroll will be back behind the wheel of the AMR23.

Stroll crashes in Singapore

At the end of the first qualifying session, Stroll went hugely hard into the wall on exiting the final corner. The final corner of the Marina Bay Street Circuit is one at high speed and so Stroll's crash had a big impact. In fact, the impact was so great that the Aston Martin driver could not compete in the race the next day.

On X (formerly Twitter), Stroll let it be known that he will be racing again in Japan. "Thanks you all for the kind messages. Ready to race this weekend with Aston Martin," the Canadian said. The Japan Grand Prix is scheduled from 22 to 24 September and will be held at the Suzuka Circuit.
