RacingNews365’s technical analyst Paolo Filisetti explains the key changes Aston Martin has made to its 2025 car for Fernando Alonso and Lance Stroll, compared to last season’s AMR24.
Aston Martin’s new challenger for the 2025 Formula 1 season, the AMR25, aims to bring the team back to a higher level of performance compared to 2023 rather than last year. The team is facing a significant challenge to return to the form of 2023, which saw them secure eight podiums, amidst a restructuring and expansion of Aston Martin’s technical department. The AMR25 is an evolution of last year’s car, featuring modifications to the suspension and Mercedes transmission, along with changes to the car’s radiator packaging. The design of the sidepods on the AMR25 reflects a profound evolution from last season, with a focus on aerodynamics and airflow management. The overall impression of the AMR25 is that of a rational project with a continuous improvement approach, taking into account the lessons learned from the previous year’s shortcomings. Plans for future developments include heavy involvement by renowned engineer Adrian Newey, pointing towards a strategic and forward-thinking approach for Aston Martin’s Formula 1 endeavors.
