Vettel christens his Aston Martin AMR21 after a Bond girl

Sebastian Vettel (GER) Aston Martin F1 Team AMR21

Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

Sebastian Vettel has continued his tradition of giving his Formula 1 cars a female name ahead of each new season.

The four-time F1 champion has christened his first Aston Martin ‘Honey Ryder’ in a nod to the first Bond girl from the James Bond film Dr. No.

Although the 1962 film didn’t actually feature an Aston Martin as Bond’s car – he drove a Sunbeam Alpine Series II, not related to the Alpine brand competing in F1 now – the British marque has a longstanding relationship with the spy series.

Speaking on Thursday ahead of this weekend’s Bahrain GP, Vettel shared his favourite Bond movie, actor and film: “I think the DB5 is the most iconic car. It’s a very cool car. Favourite Bond? I think Sean Connery and to be fair Pierce Brosnan…that’s my youth. But yeah Sean Connery, he has very good style. Favourite film? I quite like the first one that kicked it off, obviously because of Honey Ryder.”
