Sebastian Vettel seems to be slowly coming into its own at Aston Martin. The four-time world champion experienced a nightmare at Ferrari, in which Charles Leclerc ultimately overshadowed him. Now the German is hoping for a new start in a brand new team alongside Lance Stroll.

Admittedly, Vettel had a hard time at first, but now he seems to be able to keep up with the Canadian. With this in mind, 1997 Formula 1 champion Jacques Villeneuve spoke about the four-time world champion. He addressed whether Vettel could defeat Stroll within a season.
Villeneuve said: “I don’t know… Lance knows the car well. He’s been on the team for a long time and it’s his team. Who knows how it is politically there. But Lance is not a bad driver. He picked up a pole in the rain last year. “

How will Sebastian Vettel and Lance Stroll perform?
It’s surprising that Villeneuve would say something positive about Stroll, especially since he criticizes his compatriot for his roots as a billionaire’s son. It also didn’t help that Lance’s father Lawrence owns the Aston Martin Racing Team. It would have led many to suspect that Stroll only has one seat because his father owns the team.

Nevertheless, the young Canadian got his money’s worth and showed respectable performance. Sebastian Vettel will meanwhile feel very confident and motivated after his excellent fifth place in Monaco. Even if he doesn’t expect a repeat this weekend in Azerbaijan, it’s good to dream.
Be that as it may, the Aston Martin team has steadily improved with every race. With a driver of Stroll’s talent and Vettel’s experience, it seems like a heavenly combination. At the other end of the scale, their competitors will not sit idle and work hard with their own drivers as well.
