Szafnauer on rumours of break-up with Vettel: "100% nonsense"

By now most seats for 2022 are taken. Last week was the week of announcements. Amongst others Mercedes, AlphaTauri, Williams and Alfa Romeo announced their seats for 2022. Yet Aston Martin, among others, remained in the background. For some time now everyone has been assuming that Lance Stroll and Sebastian Vettel will be driving the green car, but this has not yet been confirmed by Aston Martin.

Team boss Otmar Szafnauer says to Motorsport-total.com that the rumours about a rift in the relationship with Vettel are based on nothing.

And not with Vettel or Stroll, but with other drivers. For example, drivers from Williams or Alfa Romeo.

The American indicates that it could be completed within just over two weeks and is then also brief on whether both drivers will stay and how that will be announced. "If so, then probably both at the same time," Szafnauer concludes.
