Video: Watch Vettel take his first laps in an Aston Martin

Sebastian Vettel fans didn't have to wait long to get a glimpse of the German with his new Aston Martin team as they took to the track for a filming day on Thursday.

With the Mercedes power unit behind him, the German and teammate Lance Stroll shared duties in completing 100km. It was the first time Vettel had driven anything other than a Ferrari since 2014.

We'll soon find out where the British marque stands in terms of the pecking order with teams completing their last minute preparations before pre-season testing gets underway in Bahrain on March 12.
