Otmar Szafnauer, team boss Aston Martin, thus outlined the role of a four-time world champion Sebastian Vettl"We can work with the champion for the first time and his experience in teams with which he has won many victories and titles is worth its weight in gold for us. His expertise was one of the reasons we hired him. Seb simply has this winning mentality and we will be able to learn a lot from him."
Saffron however, he also sees Vettl in another role in the team. “Sebastian will also be involved in the further development of Lance Stroll. Lance will learn from him and the two will push each other towards better results. I think we have a great mix of knowledge and youth and speed." Sebastian he also joked at his own expense and said: “When I sit next to Lance, then here’s understandably an older man.”And what about to an older man he says a young man? A 22-year-old Canadian who is eleven years younger from a teammate, is Fr. Sebastian Vettl said: “He knows an incredible amount when it comes to car behavior. He clearly says what he expects from his car, he is simply wise. His talent is obvious, and there are these huge experiences."
Throw continues: “We are still at the very beginning of our collaboration and at the tests in Bahrain we followed various programs to share the work. I’m sure we’ll work together more intensely when we sit in comparable race cars on race weekends.But young Canadian emphasizes that this is not the case one-way information road. "I’ve been on the team for a few years now and I know the race car and the processes better. Sebastian is still being introduced, he still has a lot of work to do in this area. Last but not least, I am convinced that together we will lead Aston Martin in the right direction and get all the potential out of the car during the season."
