Felipe Drugovich will replace Lance Stroll in Bahrain testing.
Yesterday, Aston Martin announced Lance Stroll was set to miss Bahrain testing beginning on Thursday due to sustaining minor injuries after a bike accident in Spain. Without going into further details on the injuries, the team said that Stroll´s health would be assessed daily up to the season opener in Bahrain.
Today, the team announced on twitter that Felipe Drugovich will attend Bahrain testing to drive alongside Fernando Alonso.
