Most F1 fans are keen to look at how Aston Martin gets going in the upcoming campaign. The team finished fourth last season but led the charge for a Top 3 spot across the majority of the races. With a new driving pairing of Sebastian Vettel and Sergio Perez coming in, Aston Martin have given themselves enough momentum to improve their ranking in the 2021 season.

There is almost a sense that a mentor-protégé relationship could develop between Vettel and Stroll. The former being a seniority figure in the sport has quite a lot to partake with Stroll, which can only benefit the young Canadian. 

“Takes a Lot of Talent to Do That”: Sebastian Vettel on Lance Stroll 

Speaking in an interview, Vettel has moved to offer a fitting defense of his new teammate. He said, “As for speed, of course I’ve never ridden next to him. So we’ll see. But I think some of the things he’s been through aren’t fair. I think he’s proven many times that he’s very fast.” 

“I think if you only take pole position in Turkey, then those were probably the most difficult track conditions I’ve ever had in twelve, 14, 15 years of Formula 1 have experienced.” (translated via Google Translate)

“Not only to stay on the track, but also to catch the lap, and he managed to get on pole. So it takes a lot of talent to do that.” 

“So I think it’s going to be an exciting and challenging year for both of us. But as I said, I’m happy to share everything I know, for the team and for Lance too,” concluded Vettel.
