Aston Martin & Mercedes will Continue as Safety & Medical Cars

[cosworth151]

Once again, Aston Martin & Mercedes will share doing duty as F1's Safety & Medical cars. Driver Bernd Maylander and co-driver Richard Darker will continue to pilot the Safety Car.

Aston will continue with a Vantage Safety Car & a DBX as the Medical Car. Mercedes will switch to an AMG GT Black Series for the Safety Car & a GT 63 S 4MATIC+ for the Medical Car.

I'd like an Aston please!

Given how often F1 drivers complain about the safety car being 'slow', I'd love to see them do a hot lap in the safety car, following the parameters that Maylander must follow, and see what they can do.

Hopefully it would shut up the whining, and if not, maybe Lewis has a post race career.

As fast as the Merc and Aston are as road cars they must seem ponderously slow to the F1 cars behind. But I am sure Bernd is not free to run a fast as he can as he must follow set rules.
It would be eye opening for the drivers to drive one of the cars for a lap or two though.

I dunno, sometimes Berndt is drifting.  He obviously can't take it beyond control or it would muck up the race while they unbury the SC from the tires.  FIA wouldn't like that one bit. 

On a side note, it was interesting to see Martin Whitmarsh in the Aston garage.  I hadn't realised Papa Stroll hired him last fall.
