Aston Martin has publicly presented their 2023 Formula 1 car, the AMR23, at their new Silverstone headquarters on Monday.
This is their third F1 car since the famous British brand returned to the sport in 2021.
The new AMR23 will be driven this year by Lance Stroll, and new recruit Fernando Alonso, who joins from Alpine.
The Aston Martin team called the AMR23 a “considerable evolution” of last year’s AMR22, which saw them finish seventh in the constructors’ championship, but equal on points with Alfa Romeo.

Aston Martin noted the new car has a “heavily revised” front wing, new side pods and a new engine cover with a bigger inlet on the roll hoop.
The AMR23 will take to the track on February 15 for a filming day at Silverstone, where Stroll will run the car in the morning and Alonso will take over in the afternoon.
“The design team was adamant that it wanted to tackle these regulations without compromise,” said new Technical Director Dan Fallows. “We want to move up the grid and start challenging the teams at the front – and you can’t do that by sitting back and being conservative.
“AMR23 is a significant development of the car we refined in the latter half of 2022 – and we have improved it in every critical area. It optimises the solutions we felt would offer us the most performance, and it embodies the joint vision we have embraced and have built together over the recent months.
“Now we need to focus on delivering an ambitious yet efficient programme of updates for the first race and across the remainder of the season.”
