Sebastian Vettel is just a month away from resetting his F1 career. Following a decent outing with Ferrari, a top-field team, Vettel will be falling back to the mid-field team, Aston Martin.
This might feel like a deja vu for the German, considering it was a similar mid-field team that eventually gifted him the four world championship titles.
Red Bull were racing amongst the mid-field of the grid during the latter part of the 2000s. However, after Vettel’s signing, the team blew up in performance and were, at one phase, unbeatable.

Hence, this similar scenario of AM signing may have gotten fans thinking, ‘could this move kindle the re-birth of the world champion?’
Well, the odds of it happening are reasonable. Moreover, Vettel has much better positives to look at now than he had when he joined Red Bull.
What did Sebastian Vettel say?
Speaking to F1-Insider, the 4-time world champion sounded quite optimistic about his soon-to-begin term with the world-famous British team.
“On paper, there are certainly some things that seem similar, but I think the situation is different. Mainly because I’m at a different point myself today,” he said. “At a better point, with far more experience, with a clearer view.”

Overall, there are more positives to look at than the negatives of Vettel joining Aston Martin. The team, being an England-bound outfit, will be a perfect fit for the German.
