Lance Stroll has conceded he has not yet reached "100 per cent" fitness after breaking both wrists during F1 pre-season preparations.
The Canadian delivered a virtuoso performance to finish sixth at the season-opening Bahrain Grand Prix having missed pre-season testing as a consequence of his injuries.
Stroll broke both wrists and a toe in a cycling accident in Spain two weeks before the first race, with keyhole surgery and intensive rehabilitation required to pull through for the event.
With Stroll recovering, fortunes could yet improve for the Silverstone-based team and ahead of this weekend's Saudi Arabian Grand Prix, he explained: "It [the pain] is getting better every day, feeling better every day.
"The worst part is behind me.
"I am still not 100 per cent, it takes a bit of time for these things to heal but I am definitely feeling much better than I was 10 days ago in Bahrain."
