For the first time since Aston Martin announced their re-entry to Formula 1, the team’s part-owner, Lawrence Stroll, expressed his excitement about the new era. The team will possess a world champion in their line-up for the first time – Sebastian Vettel.

However, the German eventually fell into a trough of controversial claims. People felt that he had lost his competitiveness and has nothing to offer for the rising mid-field team, with his terrible final outing with Ferrari being a primary reason.

It looks like Vettel is getting massive backing from Stroll, as the Canadian sounded optimistic about the potential contribution Vettel could make for Aston Martin.

Stroll points out Vettel’s positives

According to BBC, Stroll acknowledged Vettel’s struggles during his latter period in Ferrari. However, he is confident that the four-time world champion will find his groove soon.

“He’s a four-time world champion. I don’t think he forgot how to drive in one year. He has a work ethic that is known as second to none in the paddock in terms of how hard he works,” the Canadian said.

Stroll felt that Vettel losing his seat at Ferrari even before the season had begun may have destroyed him mentally. Consequently, his performances took a significant hit.

“He is going to take the team in a direction of leading us to where ultimately we want to be,” he said. “I am not concerned. I know Sebastian well, and I have 100% confidence and belief he will do a fantastic job with us. He is more motivated than he has ever been.”

The trust and faith Aston Martin have invested in Vettel is unimaginable. Of course, the German will need time to get up to speed, and it’s not going to be easy.

However, once he gets past that obstacle, he will eventually have the championship title in sight. But will he manage to get hold of that trophy? Well, it all depends on whether Aston Martin can live up to their hype. And the early signs have indicated that they will.
