As reported, Racing Point, which will become Aston Martin in 2021, confirmed this Thursday morning that it had hired Sebastian Vettel to replace Sergio Pérez, who had been dispatched. The German, who signed the multi-year contract, admitted after the announcement that he was close to retiring, but after deciding to stay, he saw this option as the best. The four-time world champion was greeted by defending champion Lewis Hamilton, among others, and Gerhard berger He also believes that cooperation will be beneficial to both parties.

I’m very happy that Sebastian has decided not to stop running yet. He’s not someone to retire to just because he knows he can’t win a championship, as in 2021 he won’t have a chance with Aston Martin. Mercedes and maybe Red Bull, both are very strong. However, Aston Martin is one of the biggest names in the automotive industry. Legendary brand. And you can win a lot with Vettel as he is a highly skilled rider that should not be underestimated and I think he will be very successful with the team. Racing Point would already have a win with the current car if it were there. ” Said the former Formula One driver.

Vettel He is also aware that he may not be able to fight for the World Cup title next year, but is confident in the Aston Martin project.

You have to have a realistic approach to things, if you want to win a championship in 2021, you have to be with Mercedes. However, there are only two seats available and I think both are already reserved. Obviously, I didn’t make a decision easily. There were two decisive factors in finally deciding that way. On the one hand, I believe in the development of the team, which has already been demonstrated this year, and I think there is more to it than that. On the other hand, this team has always been at an economic disadvantage since it did not have as much capital as the others. However, the new rules and the current situation are playing into your hands. It’s a growing team that is bringing Aston Martin back to F1, which I think is a great move and I’m excited to be a part of it. “- shared his thoughts with the German.
