For the four-time champion, Aston Martin is the fifth Formula 1 station after being retired from Ferrari.
He started at BMW-Sauber in 2007 and then went to Red Bull via Toro Rosso. With Dietrich Mateschitz's A-Team, Vettel had the most successful period of his career before he tried in vain to usher in an era similar to his with Ferrari great role model Michael Schumacher.
"It's a new chapter for me too," said Vettel.
"Winning is very ambitious, but we are here to win." And he finally looked really enthusiastic again, full of zest for action, including a constant smile.
Vettel has obviously ticked off the period of sadness with the winless Tifosi.
Finally, he switched to a team that was fourth in the team classification last season and wants even more this year.
"Our ambition is unlimited"
“It's just the beginning.
Our ambitions are unlimited, ”said team owner Lawrence Stroll:“ Today it's about dreams, about showing that everything can come true. ”The Canadian billionaire appeared elegant but also determined in a chic pinstripe suit.

Vettel's passion for motorsport history is well known.
His humor also likes to go in the British direction.
Now it just has to be sporty again with the former series world champion.
Vettel celebrated 53 race wins, but in the last two of his six years at Ferrari he only managed one Grand Prix success.
He will now also expect a lot from the Mercedes engine, which will continue to power the cars of the new Aston Martin racing team and is considered the measure of all things.
Since no major rule changes come into force for the coming season, the so-called power unit of the German car manufacturer will certainly be an advantage.
Sergio Perez had to vacate his place in the team for Vettel, the Mexican will now be one of the main competitors for podium places at Red Bull, which Aston Martin will undoubtedly strive for.
In any case, Vettel emphasized: “The cars were always very elegant, very British.
We want to do it in style. "
