Stroll, 24, was on his final lap of Q1 when the “beyond scary to watch” crash occurred.
The driver clipped the kerb and flew into the wall as he lost a wheel at 150mph.
The chassis of the car was smashed and qualifying was delayed by 34 minutes as workers cleared up the debris.
Stroll incredibly jumped from the car and seemed unhurt following the horror incident.
But as a safety precaution, the decision has been made for him not to race in today’s Grand Prix.
An Aston Martin statement read: “The whole team are relieved that Lance was able to step out of the car after yesterday’s accident.
“However, he is still feeling the after-effects of such a high-impact crash.
“Our priority now is that he makes a full and speedy recovery.

“Together, we have decided that he will sit out this evening’s race and instead focus fully on returning to the cockpit for next weekend’s Japanese Grand Prix.”
On the crash, Stroll said yesterday: “It was really bad. We had a bad outlap with traffic and there was no temperature in the tyres. There was no grip.
“I thought we were going out and I tried to push to make up some time, but it didn’t work out.”
Carlos Sainz will begin on pole with George Russell and Charles Leclerc behind him.
Red Bull had a disastrous qualifying session due to car problems and Max Verstappen will start in 11th.
And his team-mate Sergio Perez languishes in 13th.
