The Aston Martin team stepped out into its own backyard on Friday, rolling out its new AMR22 on to the track at Silverstone.

The British outfit's striking 2022 contender, which was unveiled on Thursday, was put through its initial paces by both Lance Stroll and Sebastian Vettel who split the 100-km limited shakedown conducted on Pirelli control tyres.

It was apparently a trouble-free first sortie for the new challenger ahead of the start of pre-season testing in Barcelona on February 23.
