The farewell from the role of Aston Martin’s team principal Otmar Szafnauer, the man he had strongly wanted in the team Sebastian Vettel after the German had been left on foot by Ferrari, he had opened doubts about the possible future of the four-time world champion in the Silverstone team. In the past, # 5 had already opened the doors to the hypothesis of retirement. Recently, however, from the words spoken in several interviews, his conviction to continue in F1 for a few more years had seemed firm, accepting the challenge proposed by the new technical regulation that will debut this year.
Now also Aston Martin, with Lawrence Stroll and Martin Whitmarsh, seems to have chosen to go to meet their veteran, with a choice for the new team principal who – at least on paper – should please Vettel. In fact, Szafnauer’s heir will be the German manager Mike Krack, whose appointment was made official today by the British team. Krack’s name is mainly linked to the brand BMW, with which the new boss of the wall Aston Martin has worked for years, first in F1 and then in GT competitions. At the time of his adventure in the Circus with the Munich house, Krack had found himself working with a then very young Vettel, who was entering the category.
Today the two meet again, with Vettel who is indeed in the final parable of his career but also eager to place some last sharp as a champion and Krack to the most intriguing challenge of his professional life. Speaking of his relationship with the former Cavallino standard bearer, the words of the newcomer seem auspicious: “I have been working in motorsport for over 20 years and I worked in Formula 1 with Seb Vettel in 2006 and 2007, when I was an engineer for BMW-Sauber and he was the team’s test driver. I have enormous respect for his skills and his speed – he stressed – And it will be great to be with him again. Lance Stroll is also a really fast and talented driver, with 100 Grands Prix under his belt, and I can’t wait to work closely with him. “he concluded.
