The FIA has enforced guidelines preventing Formula 1 teams from commencing development on 2026 cars before January 1, 2025. The 2026 regulations will bring significant changes, such as movable aerodynamics, a shorter wheelbase, and a narrower design, making it crucial to perfect designs from the start. Aston Martin’s technical director, Andrew Green, expressed the focus on gearing up for 2025 to ensure the AMR25 is in optimal shape early on. With the challenge of balancing resources between the 2025 and 2026 cars, clarity of purpose is essential to prevent confusion among engineers. Aston Martin faces the task of transitioning from Mercedes’ wind tunnel to its new state-of-the-art facility at Silverstone, requiring careful planning and coordination to ensure smooth development for both the 2025 and 2026 cars. Despite the challenges, the transition between wind tunnels offers flexibility for Aston Martin to adapt its development strategy for the AMR25 as needed.
