Vettel called time on his F1 career at the end of 2022 following twജo lacklustre ye💖ars with Aston Martin.

The German’s departure paved th💯e way for Alonso’s arrival at Ast🔯on Martin.

While their form has slipped in r✃e♏cent races, it’s still been a remarkable season for Aston Martin.

. “It was a bit strange at the first race but now I enjoy watching it. I know the sport inside out, I still love it.

“Maybe I see certain things differently, but I'm not sad when I look at my former colleagues, not at all. People's initial reaction was 'That Aston Martin is fast this season must do something to you, r🌞ight?'

“Ok, maybe it would be easier if the car totally sucked so I wouldn't have missed anything, but I'm mostly happy for the team and I'm happy for Fernando Alonso. For years he didn't have a car in which he could show his qualities. Now he can and he's immediately at the front. 

“Red Bull dominates and I still have a lot of frie🤡nds there. I am very happy when they win.”
