Aston Martin reveals 2024 F1 car launch plan
The AMR24 challenger will be revealed on 12 February at Silverstone, as announced in an email to members of the team’s I/AM fan campaign. Aston Martin is the fourth team to announce their 2024 launch date, following Sauber and Williams on 5 February, and Ferrari on 13 February. Fernando Alonso, two-time F1 world champion, wants the team to address issues with consistency and straightline speed. He noted that the car operates in a narrow window and struggles compared to others in terms of performance numbers and straightline speed. Alonso did praise the team’s tyre management and strategy calls, but results declined in the middle of the 2023 season. Aston Martin was reportedly affected by the removal of an overly flexible front-wing and faced challenges in reverse-engineering parts for the next season. Sauber, now known as Stake F1 Team, will launch its C44 creation in London and will carry the name until Audi’s entry into F1 in 2026.
