The 2025 Aston Martin F1 car hit the track in Bahrain for the first time Monday morning, and the AMR25’s philosophy has thus far proven slightly different than anticipated.
Aston Martin unveiled the AMR25, Fernando Alonso and Lance Stroll’s new F1 car, on Sunday night before its Bahrain shakedown the next day. Initial renders hinted at a subtle evolution from the AMR24, with minor changes like relocating radiators for improved aerodynamics. However, when the car hit the track, it revealed a more radical design – like a full-length shark fin and narrower, more inclined sidepods. The larger hood vents and unique concepts pointed towards a track-specific setup, surprising many fans. Further details may be revealed as the shakedown progresses, with the AMR25 set to join the 2025 grid in Bahrain on Wednesday. Fans can now compare the studio renders to the actual track version of the AMR25 to see the differences.
