Aston Martin are heading into the 2022 season, hopeful of being competitive once again. The iconic British brand made its comeback into the sport last season in spectacular fashion but they were largely uncompetitive on the track. But the team and four-time world champion Sebastian Vettel have worked hard to create a new simulator for themselves.

The British team unveiled a different-looking simulator that had the chassis of the 2021 car AMR21. It is a unique design, as all the other teams have a prototype of the actual car acting as a simulator.

As reported by Aston Martin’s Official Website, the team unveiled their unique setup for the simulator that they would be using for the 2022 season. The team mentioned that they have set up this incredible simulator so that Vettel can have all the information he needs during a race weekend.
“The design ensures Sebastian has a realistic driver-view behind the wheel, right up to the Honey Ryder decal behind the steering wheel and the AMR21’s wing mirrors and headrest. The simulator is fitted with Sebastian’s race seat, along with his headrest and seatbelts used during the 2021 campaign,” said the team.

“It means that the four-time World Champion can factor his own simulator sessions into his preparations for each Grand Prix this year, demonstrating his commitment to extracting every bit of performance he can,” added Aston Martin.

It would be fascinating to see how the new simulator works for the four-time world champion. This may prove to be a key part of their 2022 performance on the track. Both the team and Vettel need to gain an advantage wherever possible to have a more competitive package in the new season.
But we have to wait for the season to begin to have an indicator if the new simulator has worked for the team or not. Hopefully, it gives them the desired results they hope and proves to be a difference-maker.
