He said he had self-isolated for 10 days and is now “feeling 100% and have since tested negative”.
Stroll added that he feels “in great shape” and “can’t wait to be back with the team and to race in Portugal.”
In Stroll's absence, Hulkenberg finished P8 at the Nurburgring, helping Racing Point leapfrog McLaren into third in the constructors' standings.
