Internet reacts sharply to Aston Martin's 'green Red Bull'
- GPblog.com
Aston Martin's AMR22B has not been driven yet but it has already caused quite a stir. It will have escaped few people's attention that the renewed car looks a lot like Red Bull Racing's RB18, as is shown by the sharp internet reactions that followed the first images of the car.
Sharp reactions to Aston Martin's 'green Red Bull
As expected, the memes about Aston Martin's 'green Red Bull' soon began to pour in. There are references to green Red Bull cans, which would have served as inspiration for the AMR22B. Some also point out that Aston Martin and Red Bull Racing have simply renewed their old partnership.
Others argue that Sebastian Vettel, in his role as 'Inspector Seb', simply donned his old Red Bull overalls, walked into the headquarters in Milton Keynes and left again with Adrian Newey's building plans.
There is some outrage, but at the same time there are also those who look at the matter from a different angle. Sebastian Vettel has a high favour factor for many people, and so some fans conclude that they will turn a blind eye if the car brings Vettel better results.

Sebastian Vettel really stepped into his old Red Bull overalls, went to their office, took the RB18 blueprints and presented them to Aston Martin and voilà, we have the green Red Bull.
