The move certainly benefits both Vettel and Aston Martin. For the latter, it gives him a chance to get back to competing at the front of the grid, racing for podiums and perhaps even wins. For the latter, they get an incredibly experienced and talented driver who has been there and done that. Vettel is the best bet to take Aston Martin to the next level.
What Lewis Hamilton thinks Sebastian Vettel can give to Aston Martin
Lewis said, “Maybe I’m biased, but I believe that experience counts for a huge amount. He’s obviously had a difficult time at Ferrari. But he’s a four-time world champion that can steer that team even further, in a better direction in terms of car development. I think you should never take that for granted. It’s a great move for the team.”
