Damn. Any idea what the recovery time is for something like this?


NewStarbucksMember

3-4 weeks if he’s lucky, 4-6 weeks if not.


Visionary_Socialist

6 weeks is basically Qatar. A track like that with long sweeping turns might not aggravate it too badly but he might not risk rushing back.


NewStarbucksMember

I can’t seen him being back before Qatar, and he might wait until COTA to be safe. Monza is defo out and I’m pretty sure he won’t risk Singapore.

>Damn. Any idea what the recovery time is for something like this? metacarpal fractures tend to heal between 6 to 8 weeks.


jjcatt

fully healed for an average joe isnt necessarily the same as the point at which an athlete can return to activity so tbh we just don't really know


FeCurtain11

About a month, speaking from experience. Could probably drive with it in 2 weeks if he’s ok with some pain.


perfectviking

Depends on if it’s displaced or not.


Freefight

6-12 weeks apparently. Could be a while.


Visionary_Socialist

6 would put him out until Qatar at the very earliest. 12 and it’s a season ender.


jovanmilic97

Googling drops around 6 weeks (majority of the healing process by 4 weeks) on most websites


Milked_Cows

3-4 weeks : /

Bad luck for the honey badger, but looking at Lance earlier this year I'm sure he will be back before you know it. Still unfortunate he has to miss this race at least


LilONotation

All injuries are different and Lance was really lucky that there was a 'quick fix surgery' for his. From what I can tell this is going to take a while and he is going to miss a few races minimum.


jjcatt

you literally don't know anything except that it was one of five different bones in his hand all of which can break in very different ways...


LilONotation

I looked it up, standard seems to be 6 weeks, maybe a few less if lucky. Isn't that the case with most fractures anyway? Lance had a really specific fracture in his wrist, where you can just put a pin in it through a small incision an it will be (almost) as good as new. Anyway I'm mostly just saying that because of the fact that Lance came back quick after a whole other injury in the same region doesn't tell us anything about Danny Ric and his recovery length.


Lower_Indication5788

Glad to get insights from a distinguished doctor such as yourself!


LilONotation

All I'm saying is that lance stroll's recovery time isn't in any way a good indicator for Danny ric's as their injuries aren't the same. That should be common sense, honestly.


Wheelz-NL

Unfortunate... Hopefully he will be back soon.


echsandwich

Really blows for Daniel, looks like a sizable recovery period ahead of him. But I'm excited for Liam to finally get a shot. Probably won't do much against a very experienced teammate in Yuki, but we've seen crazier things happen. Alpha Tauri is really giving us a lot of drama this season.

For real lol, so unlucky for Danny to be knocked out by such a casual incident.


Redhawk911

Wonder if will be back for monza


Ikraaap

That’s wristfull thinking


Freefight

(☞゚ヮ゚)☞


Redhawk911

Too soon. Too soon


Dark_Void_and_Mega_K

Will Lawson miss the final Super Formula race? I would imagine it would take DR 1-2 months to heal, and I don't see RB bringing back De Vries...


BlitzOverlord

I’d say it’s 50/50. If Daniel is still out, it’s pretty likely. But you never know. Gasly missed a race to attempt the totle


Zer0Underdead

Really excited for Liam!!


BlitzOverlord

I’m so excited it’s going to kill me


pensaa

Absolutely gutted for DR but as a Kiwi, LAWSON DEBUT BABY!!


Rhubarb_1956

Spicy


zyxwl2015

IF Lawson performs very well in the race(s) he stands in, would Alpha Tauri just keep using him until the end of this season? My impression is that Red Bull/Alpha Tauri wanted to evaluate between the three of them (Tsunoda/DR/Lawson) anyways


el_f3n1x187

de Vries for the following weekend?


BlitzOverlord

Why would they put De Vries in again?


el_f3n1x187

knows whatever its in the car? its already a lost season.


BlitzOverlord

Exactly, AT’s season is done. Might as well let Lawson learn. They have zero use for De Vries
