Felipe Drugovich willing to ditch Le Mans for F1 debut as Lance Stroll stand-in

ERROR: The request could not be satisfied

No confirmation yet regarding who will replace Stroll — if he can't make it for the Canadian Grand Prix.

I mean, if Stroll is going to be out for awhile, it gives Drugovich a chance to showcase his skills for whoever is shopping next year.
- Or.. Lawrence gets another driver to not make use of Drugovich once again. Bottas would be available (and Zhou as well I guess).
- I hope so. I really liked the guy in F2, just a calm and collected dude who was dominant in the year he won the title.
  But I'm afraid he's lost that momentum a bit. He wasn't as great in his first year of F2 and if he brings that kind of racing to the current F1 field, I'm afraid it won't be enough.
I really feel (believe, hope?) that this is the exit strategy so that we can have 22 drivers on the grid next year and stroll can save some small amount of face 🤞
- By having a tantrum and wrecking his hand again?
  
  Oh I meant more so that the Strolls can use his recurring injury as a reasonable excuse for him to step away... Aston could afford any driver AND have Newey; they're never going to trouble the constructors with Lance in the car, it's that simple
