Fernando Alonso & Aston Martin Presenting Thier New AMR24
The RB19, which won 21 races in 2023, is strikingly similar in its nose, sides, and rear section.
This season’s AMR24, driven by Lance Stroll and Fernando Alonso, has been unveiled by Aston Martin on its social media platforms. It is not at all what one would initially think, even if technical director Dan Fallows mentions a continuation of the last car.
When viewed from the front, the nose is similar to the Red Bull RB19 from the previous year, although it has been sharper and more trimmed where the cone joins the front wing’s second plane. As of right now, the structure for 2023 has been completely rebuilt.
With tiny, simple pontoons that mimic the design of Max Verstappen‘s car mailbox and his kit, which was unveiled in Hungary in 2023, it also traces the course taken by Red Bull in the side area. The new Visa Cash RB last Friday also demonstrated that the lower lip of the mouth of the radiator entrance is much ahead of the top lip.
There are also a lot of new features at the beginning of the floor, near the gills where air enters from underneath the car. Compared to last year’s car, there is a much more noticeable section of suspended fiber and a channel between the pontoons and the floor. The course is the one that Newey outlined in 2023.
Even while the tub that the cooling gills pass over is still present in the upper portion of the pontoons, it now appears considerably more prominent. The redesigned intake, which is squarer in shape and resembles Red Bull‘s, is another unexpected change. It features an amazing engine leg refinement and sits over the driver’s head.
Brand-new back suspensions
One of the most significant changes to this car is the rear suspension setup, which switches from a “pull rod” to a “push rod” arrangement. Fallows claims that this change was partially caused by the new, smaller Mercedes gearbox.
In contrast, Red Bull has been using this layout for the past two years, with the upper triangle angled slightly downward to minimize the amount of space between the ground and the asphalt despite the track’s imperfections.
