Poker with Aston Martin: Vettel and the Bond girls

Sebastian Vettel himself was a little surprised by his fond memories of James Bond's cars. “I should probably remember the Bond girls,” said Vettel with a smile on Thursday before the Hungarian Grand Prix at the Hungaroring. The fact that the first thing that came to mind as his favorite car was a BMW rather than the Bond classic Aston Martin, which suggested a broad grin under Vettel's mouth and nose protection.

Vettel does not want to be driven by the rapid speculation about his future with the future Aston Martin factory team. “Rumors are rumors,” emphasized the 33-year-old German. “Just a few days after Austria, not much has changed. The fact is that there is no news.” After all, he confirmed “loose discussions” with those responsible for the future Aston Martin team, which will start this Formula 1 season as Racing Point. Exit open. How capable of winning would Vettel be? But experts and colleagues are already racking their brains about how capable Vettel would be of winning in an Aston Martin and what would happen to him. Especially since Sergio Perez's statements about a possible early departure from Racing Point didn't necessarily have a decelerating effect. “As far as I know, I have a contract,” Perez emphasized several times. “We’ll see what happens in the coming weeks,” said the 30-year-old Mexican. He spoke respectfully about Vettel: “He has achieved a lot in the sport. It's of course a good name for a team." It is said that July 31st is the deadline as to whether Racing Point plans another year with Perez or says goodbye to him for a hefty separation fee despite his contract until the end of 2022.

Renault driver Daniel Ricciardo emphasized that after the heydays at Red Bull and a team with the illustrious name like Ferrari, switching to Aston Martin would also have its pitfalls. The Australian, who drove alongside Vettel in his last Red Bull season in 2014, said: “He has been at the front the whole time in his career. If he really goes to a midfield team, it will be new territory for him.” And if he wants to do it, then not just for one year, but for two, three or more to build something. Is Red Bull still striking? For example, he could imagine Vettel driving for Aston Martin for a year or two, meanwhile looking at the developments surrounding Lewis Hamilton at Mercedes, and if an opportunity arose, he would switch to the Silver Arrows again, said the former formula -1-Pilot Timo Glock ran.de . “Personally, I believe that Sebastian is secretly still hoping to find a place at Red Bull for the 2021 season – even if the door has already been slammed in public by those responsible.”
