“At ROC Mexico [in 2019], we came second in the ROC Nations Cup, so our aim is to do one better in Sweden. The competition will be very strong, especially from the Nordic drivers who have a lot more experience than us driving on snow and ice.

“It’s very nice to see the many new sustainability initiatives that the Race Of Champions are implementing, as they aim to become a climate-positive event over the coming years,” said Vettel.

Both drivers have little experience of driving on ice, and that is why the challenge would be a little more tricky. But it is amazing to see the Aston Martin and Haas F1 drivers teaming up to represent their country.
