Sebastian Vettel gives out his prediction for Aston Martin for the 2022 season
As reported by GPBlog, the four-time world champion is remaining cautious ahead of the 2022 season. He mentioned despite developing the 2022 car throughout the 2021 season; the team is far from the top of the grid yet.
“The top is not yet in sight. I think it will be a long year and we still have a lot to learn about the new cars. In that respect, we are all in the same boat,” said Vettel.
“I expected the cars to be similar, but it’s nice that the teams have chosen different paths. I hope that all solutions are good,” said the Aston Martin driver.
