Lance Stroll needs "a bit of a hug" to recover lost form and confidence after recent crashes and contracting COVID-19, according to his Racing Point team's technical director Andrew Green.
The 22-year-old Canadian Formula One driver, son of team owner Lawrence, has not scored in five races since he finished third in the Sept. 6 Italian Grand Prix at Monza.
He missed the Oct. 11 Eifel Grand Prix at the Nurburgring due to sickness and then tested positive for the new coronavirus on returning home.
Monza was his seventh successive scoring finish and lifted him to fourth.
