Ex-F1 technical director Gary Anderson’s view on the new Aston Martin F1 car
With Adrian Newey just about a week away from officially starting his new job at Aston Martin, the pressure is mounting on the current technical group to demonstrate their understanding of F1 car dynamics. As it’s the final year of the current ground effect rules, teams should rely on the knowledge gained over the past three years rather than solely on Adrian’s expertise. Looking forward to 2026 with new rules, Aston Martin’s focus should be on adapting to fresh concepts and ways of working under Adrian’s guidance, while the current AMR25 project provides insights for improvement. Noteworthy changes in the front wing and radiator intake of the AMR25 aim to enhance front grip and aerodynamic efficiency in slow corners, potentially boosting overall performance. Aston Martin’s attention to aerodynamic details like element cord lengths and radiator design showcases their commitment to optimizing airflow and performance on the track.
