The Aston Martin TT1 from 1922 hit the track at Le Castellet
On the eve of the first laps of the F1 at Le Castellet, Sebastian Vettel took to the track of the Var circuit behind the wheel of a centenary Aston Martin.
Confirmed a few days ago, Sebastian Vettel’s demonstration aboard a 1922 Aston Martin took place the day before the first official tests of the French Grand Prix. This was a way for the German driver to familiarize himself with the track in preparation for Sunday’s race.
The four-time world champion took advantage of this moment to celebrate the brand he represents. « It’s a beautiful way to celebrate the brand’s history. It’s very different from what I’m used to driving. I’m very proud to be part of this very special story. » This event is an opportunity for the venerable English brand to celebrate the hundredth anniversary of its entry into motor racing competition.
One for the history books. 💚
