This includes challenges like the blindfold drawing challenge and the whisper challenge. And now, the greens have come up with yet another interesting challenge. Only this time, it isn’t Stroll alongside Vettel – it’s the German’s trainer, Antti Kontsas.

What is the latest Aston Martin challenge about?
This time around, it looks like Aston Martin have preferred to stick with something that plays an important part in improvising drivers’ reflexes.
Antti holds a ball each on either of his palms, facing downward; Vettel’s hands are above the Finn’s. Hence, when Antti drops the ball(s), Seb’s job is to catch them before they hit the ground.

The interesting part about this particular challenge is that Antti doesn’t necessarily have to let go of both the balls at the same time – it could be either one of them.
Later in the video, Aston Martin points the F1 fans with the hashtag they need to adhere to after taking up the challenge. While Vettel initially claims it as the ‘#BallChallenge’, the team eventually changed it to ‘#CatchChallenge’.

Then, as expected, Vettel and Antti, together, showed how the challenge is done. Following the completion, the four-time world champion added, “Right. One miss, one catch. But, now I would say it’s up to you. That was the ball challenge, and we’re looking forward to new suggestions and new ideas that you come up with and trying to catch the balls.”
