The easiest way to test this is on the right track under real conditions, but that is precisely what lies at the heart of the matter for many, and especially for Vettel and Aston Martin. Heppenheimer got real criticism from his old employer Ferrari as a farewell gift.

After the last race of the season, drivers who switch teams could have been allowed to test old cars from their new team before the New Year. But Scuderia refused to release Vettel, so he had to keep his feet steady since mid-December.

Vettel’s only chance to really get to know Aston Martin is during the winter tests in Barcelona in early March. However, another problem awaits there. The tests were cramped for three days, until eight days earlier they were common.

The only way out: simulation

It would be two and a half months before the Heppenheimer returned with four tires and a speed of over 300 km / h. Until then, he and drivers like Daniel Ricciardo (for McLaren) or Carlos Sainz (Vettel’s legacy at Ferrari) have only the simulators to prepare.
