Lance Stroll enters his third Formula 1 season at Aston Martin with a new colleague, Sebastian Vettel. Stroll is very happy with the arrival of the driver who, according to him, is intelligent, but still needs to get used to things.

Stroll praises Vettel in conversation with Motorsport.com and reports that the German makes intelligent comments. While this is only a first impression, Stroll knows that there is a lot of knowledge in his teammate.

"His comments are very intelligent. I'm sure I'll get to know him a lot better over the next few weeks when we're racing and are on the track at the same time and on similar programs. I think we'll get a lot more out of each other's feedback then and have a much better idea of what the other is talking about."

Still a lot of getting used to for Vettel

Vettel still has to get used to the way Aston Martin handles things. Of course, every team has a different way of working and interacts differently. According to Stroll Vettel doesn't have to worry too much. He is convinced that the team is making a good move with the new driver.

"He is still getting used to many things and learning about how this team operates and how the car works. There are a lot of new buttons and other novelties to get familiar with. So we're in a different position, but I'm sure together we can guide the team in the right direction and get the most out of the car this year."

Stroll feels he has grown a lot himself compared to last season. This year he will do things differently than last year. According to the driver, it is mainly about small things like setting up the long runs and tuning the set-up of the car. Whether this will give him a better place than during the 2020 season, we will see very soon when the Formula 1 season for 2021 kicks off.
