I have huge respect for his speed and ability, and it will be fantastic to have him back. Lance Stroll is also a very fast and talented driver, with 100 Grand Prix starts to his name, and I am very much looking forward to working closely with him.”

“This Silverstone based team has always impressed me. The team is full of talented people and real competitors. Culture and values ​​are what is needed to succeed in motorsport – I know that and my new colleagues at the Aston Martin F1 team know that too. We are going to work incredibly hard. We want to win.
