Vettel rumours false: "Everyone starts with a clean slate"

Due to the time Aston Martin took to announce their line-up for the 2022 season, rumours were circulating that Sebastian Vettel was planning to leave Formula 1. However, those rumours appear to be untrue as the team have confirmed they want to continue with both drivers.

“I am really looking forward to racing the new generation of Formula One cars. Their look is very different and the new technical regulations should give us cars that can race much more closely than recently," said Vettel in his statement on the official website of Aston Martin.

He continued: "More exciting racing will be great for the drivers as well as for the fans. The changes are so big that every team will be starting from a new beginning, so it will be a great opportunity for us at Aston Martin Cognizant Formula One™ Team. I believe in the strength of our new growing team, so I am already looking forward to 2022.”
