Recently, Aston Martin duo Sebastian Vettel and Lance Stroll sat down for a small game. The teammates asked each other various questions where they had to fill in the blanks from comments that fans made. Needless to say, the four-time world champion and the young Canadian had a lot of fun. There were also a few surprising confessions, particularly from Vettel.

Apparently, he has not watched Formula 1: Drive to Survive yet. For this particular question, Vettel noted that Stroll praised Drive to Survive for its content. After Stroll asked for some hints, Sebastian Vettel said, “I don’t know, because I didn’t see it. You must have said, it says, ‘Lance says he and Lawrence [Stroll] go way back.'”

In contrast to Seb’s start, Lance Stroll enjoyed a reasonably decent race and picked up a point. Of course, the team is aware that they cannot expect Sebastian Vettel to be flawless immediately. So, it is more realistic to expect that he will take some time to attune himself to the car before getting up to speed.

Of course, Vettel cannot be judged on the basis of just one race. Instead, his performance will be gauged over a period of time. Hopefully, the four-time Formula One world champion can try his best in his new team.
