Sebastian Vettel moved to Aston Martin this season to drive alongside Lance Stroll. The German has essential championship-winning experience in Formula 1 that will help both the team and his teammate. Thus, the young Canadian, who has many years to go and a lot to gain, has a golden opportunity to learn everything he can from a four-time world champion.
Considering his technical knowledge and race-winning experience, Sebastian Vettel will bring a lot to the table. In a recent interview, his teammate, Lance Stroll, shared a few praises for the German champ.
He said, “He is very knowledgeable when it comes to the behavior of the car and what he wants from the car. His comments are very clever. He has a lot of experience and of course he is a very talented driver.”
