Carlos Miquel reported in Game Time that Sebastian Vettel is one of Aston Martin’s candidates to replace Lance Stroll in the first race of the Formula 1 World Cup. In case the Canadian does not recover in time, the British team has spoken with the German, who has not yet spoken.

Vettel retired at the end of last season and can return to single-seater racing at the Bahrain Grand Prix which takes place this weekend, from Friday March 3 to Sunday March 5. Stroll missed the three days of pre-season after suffering an accident on Monday February 20 while riding his bike.
Aston Martin’s plans were disrupted by the absence of the Canadian driver. Despite this, Fernando Alonso has left very good feelings these days in Bahrain. And also Carlos Miquel confirms them by assuring that the car is 1.3 seconds faster than last season in qualifying.
