Aston Martin never seemed to be lacking in satisfaction since Sebastian Vettel showed up in their garage ahead of this season. The British team has kept its fans busy with interesting concepts in which the four-time world champion and his Canadian teammate Lance Stroll play the main roles.

These include challenges like the blindfold drawing challenge and the whispering challenge. And now the greens have come up with another interesting challenge. Only this time it is not Stroll next to Vettel, but the trainer of the German, Antti Kontsas.

This time around, Aston Martin seems to have preferred to stick with something that plays an important role in improvising the driver’s reflexes.
Antti holds a ball on one of his palms, pointing downwards; Vettel’s hands are above those of the Finns. When Antti drops the balls, Seb’s job is to catch them before they hit the ground.
The interesting thing about this particular challenge is that Antti doesn’t necessarily have to let go of both balls at the same time – it could be either.
Later in the video, Aston Martin has hashtagged F1 fans to adhere to after accepting the challenge. While Vettel initially referred to it as “#BallChallenge”, the team eventually changed it to “#CatchChallenge”.

Then, as expected, Vettel and Antti showed how the challenge was mastered. Upon completion, the four-time world champion added: “Right. A failure, a catch. But now I’d say it’s up to you. That was the ball challenge and we look forward to new suggestions and new ideas that you come up with and try to catch the balls. “

It’s pretty exciting to see how Vettel managed to develop a relationship with Aston Martin. The German has a constant smile on his face this season after having had a terrible period at Ferrari. So will Aston Martin continue to support the German world champion?
