Aston Martin is really close to the Silverstone circuit from his factory. The day after the presentation, he was able to go on the track. According to the rules, the car can travel a maximum of 100 km, which in Silverstone is about 16 laps. The team must use special Pirelli tires for the purpose.
Sebastian Vettel gives the cars a name. Last year it was Honey Ryder by Bond girl. The connection between Aston and James Bond probably doesn’t need to be divorced. How will it be this year? We still have to wait.
Sebastian Vettel admitted that he had not thought about the name yet. “But I’ve been asked so many times today that I’m starting to come up with a few names,” Vettel said.
“But I have not decided, and I usually do not do it alone. I do it together with the mechanics. We came with Honey Rider last year because it was the first Aston Martin, the first Bond girl for me. I don’t know. It doesn’t have to be Bond girl, but I’m sure we’ll come up with something. “
