As the start of the 2022 Formula 1 season approaches, Aston Martin is making more and more noise on social networks, a strategy that they also adopted in the previous campaign when the team changed ” Racing Point ” to the name of the important British automotive brand.
Last week, the team commissioned for the first time the Mercedes power unit that they will use this year. A few days later, Sebastian Vettel visited the factory to create the seat he will carry throughout the season at the wheel of the Aston Martin AMR22 . The German returned to work a few weeks ago to find out more details about a new car that will have quite a few changes compared to 2021 due to the new technical regulations that will start in 2022.
Lance Stroll, son of team owner Lawrence Stroll , was not far behind and a few days later, specifically on Sunday, he traveled to the Aston Martin factory to see the AMR22 up close.
Like his teammate, the Canadian driver took advantage of his visit to make his new seat, a job that was recorded on video and published by the team through its social networks. In this way, Lance Stroll was finally able to take the wheel of the new Aston Martin AMR22 with his own hands, which will be presented in the coming days.

The British team had a difficult first season in 2021 under the Aston Martin name. Having contended for third in the constructors’ championship in 2020 as Racing Point , they dropped to seventh last year.
Stroll finished 13th in the general classification with 41 points less than the previous year, and his best result was in Qatar, a race in which he crossed the checkered flag in sixth position. Sebastian Vettel finished one place ahead but took a valuable podium finish in Baku.
