Brendon Hartley passes medical check-up after Lance Stroll clash

Brendon Hartley has been given the all-clear by doctors after his scary crash at the start of the Canadian Grand Prix.

The Toro Rosso driver was squeezed into the wall by the wobbling Williams of Lance Stroll on the opening lap, sending Hartley's car sideways and launching him into the air briefly. The incident knocked both drivers out of the race and prompted a brief period under the Safety Car.

After both drivers visited the medical centre, Hartley was sent to a nearby hospital for precautionary tests. He completed two electrocardiogram tests, which came back with normal results, before returning to the circuit by helicopter.
