‘It’s tempting’

ASTON Martin owner Lawrence Stroll has admitted he is tempted to offer Sir Lewis Hamilton the chance to end his career with the historic British brand.

Canadian fashion billionaire Stroll is leading Aston Martin’s return to Formula One after 61 years away. In a clear statement of intent, the renamed Racing Point team have signed Sebastian Vettel. The quadruple world champion will drive alongside Lawrence’s son, Lance Stroll, for the new campaign starting next month. But with Hamilton’s latest deal due to expire at the season’s end, and Mercedes said to be exploring their options, Stroll told PA: “It’s definitely tempting.

Lewis in any car’s great, and I’m sure everyone would say yes, he is a seven-time world champion.”
