Gallery: The best of Green Pea at the French GP

SHARE:

Aston Martin demonstrated its iconic Green Pea car at the French Grand Prix at Circuit Paul Ricard, to mark 100 years since the marque's Grand Prix debut.

See the best images of the Green Pea from the French Grand Prix weekend, including a pitstop practice and a special demonstration lap with Sebastian Vettel behind the wheel, powered by synthetic fuel developed by Aramco and P1.

The Green Pea took its place in the AMF1 garage during the weekend.

Unlike today's cars, Green Pea carries a spare tyre on the side in the event of a puncture.

The AMR22 and the Green Pea stood side-by-side in the Paul Ricard pitlane.

The Green Pea was the centre of attention on Thursday.

AMF1's mechanics tried their hands at a pitstop with Green Pea.

In 1922, pitstops were completed with very different jacks and wheel-removing equipment.

Sebastian heads out onto the circuit with Johnny Herbert as riding mechanic.

Riding mechanics were there to assist with pumping oil and fuel and with pitstops.
