Aston Martin has explained the design choices behind the AMR25, the 2025 F1 car that it hopes will be “more driveable and benign” than its predecessor.
Aston Martin faced challenges in the 2024 season as they were unable to progress and instead fell back towards the midfield teams. The mid-season upgrades did not yield the expected performance gains, leading to a disappointing end to the season. CEO Andy Cowell emphasized the importance of addressing these issues with the new AMR25 car for the upcoming season. The team aims to create a more drivable and competitive car based on lessons learned from the previous year. The AMR25 features significant changes in components, including improvements to the front wing and sidepods for enhanced downforce and airflow management. Aston Martin is focused on continuous improvement and preparing for the upcoming regulations overhaul in 2026.
