Aston Martin’s 2024 F1 car will have to avoid some of the development pitfalls of its predecessor if it’s to make good on its hopes of beating Red Bull. But the detail on what we’ve seen of the AMR24 so far has Gary Anderson impressed
Aston Martin faces the challenge of replicating its strong start to last season in 2024, which will depend on addressing the issues that caused a decline mid-season. McLaren is expected to begin the season in a better position, and it’s possible that “Red Bull 2” will also be competitive. Aston Martin has high expectations with its new factory, and its performance will be closely observed. The front design of the car has been modified with a slot gap between the front wing and nose, improving airflow and generating better conditions for the underfloor. Changes to the front wing and endplate aim to increase front tire outwash, while the inner mudguard assembly helps manage flow and reduce drag. The pushrod front suspension has been retained, with anti-dive characteristics and an updated radiator intake.
