Sebastian Vettel, on his side, is excited to continue racing in F1 with this team, as he continues on his new adventure. It will be an important year, as the up-coming new regulations are opening the way to a new generation of cars and it will be interesting to see how an old-schooled, experienced driver like him will adapt and contribute to them.
“I am really looking forward to racing the new generation of Formula One cars. Their look is very different and the new technical regulations should give us cars that can race much more closely than recently. More exciting racing will be great for the drivers as well as for the fans.”
“The changes are so big that every team will be starting from a new beginning, so it will be a great opportunity for us at Aston Martin Cognizant Formula One Team. – he continues - I believe in the strength of our new growing team, so I am already looking forward to 2022.”
Thanks to Lance and Sebastian for making their mark this year.
