Aston Martin revealed their actual 2025 Formula 1 car, the AMR25, after their livery reveal as part of the F1 75 Live launch event last Tuesday at the London Q2 arena.
Aston Martin opted for an online reveal of their 2025 F1 challenger across their digital platforms and labeled the AMR25 as "an evolution of its predecessor, with changes aimed at making the car more driveable and improving overall driver confidence".
The car, which will be piloted by Fernando Alonso and Lance Stroll in he upcoming 2025 F1 season, will be given a shakedown in Bahrain on Monday ahead of the pre-season testing on February 26-28.
Commenting on the launch, newly appointed Aston Martin team principal Andy Cowell said: "I'm excited to get this season started and see the AMR25 hit the track tomorrow in Bahrain.
"It's the culmination of tremendous hard work and dedication at the AMR Technology Campus. We are all inspired by the DNA of Aston Martin and we have a relentless pursuit of excellence, both on and off the track.
"For this year's car we've really taken on board the lessons and feedback from last season," Cowell added. "We've focused on creating a more driveable car for Lance and Fernando and we've pushed hard to make it more benign. We expect it to be a tight and competitive field from the get-go in Australia, so we know it won't be easy.
"Our aims are realistic with a view to how we can continually improve in all areas, especially as we, like all teams, approach a vital shake-up of the regulations in 2026," the former Mercedes power unit boss concluded.
Alonso: We learnt a lot in 2024
Alonso, who starts his third season with Aston Martin in 2025, commented: "We learnt a lot in 2024 and the team have been using that as a driving force as we head into this season with the AMR25.
"The competition is going to be very tight in this last year of the current regulations, but I know the team have been working hard at the AMRTC to make sure we are ready.
"I'm excited to get back on track; I am ready to help this team get stronger and continue this journey with Aston Martin Aramco," the 2005 and 2006 F1 champion concluded.
His teammate, Stroll, added: "Everyone at the AMRTC has put in a lot of work over the winter to improve for 2025. As a team, we all want to perform well and we will continue to learn over the course of the year.
"What we are building here is such an exciting project with great tools and talented people, and 2025 is a key year for us to make progress.
"I'm looking forward to the season ahead and getting back in the cockpit, starting with pre-season testing in Bahrain," the Canadian concluded.
The AMR25 in detail
Aston Martin gave a technical description of the AMR25 in a statement that said: "The front wing of the AMR25 is a significant evolution of the front wing the team introduced towards the end of last year. The changes are focused on improving low-speed downforce, the balance of the car and giving the drivers more stability through all the phases of cornering.
"The sidepods of the AMR25 have been reprofiled and are the most striking change visually compared to its predecessor. Deeply undercut, they feature a swooping channel along the length of the upper surface to better guide airflow.
"A tightly packaged radiator layout has been reconfigured to accommodate the new sidepod design. The radiators play a critical role in regulating the powertrain's temperature.
"The engine cover features a jagged, razor-sharp spine running from the airbox towards the rear wing to direct airflow to the rear of the car," the team revealed.
The team went further, stating: "The design of the floor has been revised to improve airflow underneath the car. The new sidepod and bodywork design complement this, allowing better airflow management under the car and over the rear wing.
"The AMR25 features a push-rod suspension layout at both the front and rear; the wheel assembly is joined to the chassis by a diagonal structure with a higher point on the car's body.
"New brake ducts at both the front and rear of the car are designed to improve brake cooling and airflow management. Brake ducts funnel air into and out of the brake assembly; on the AMR25, this consists of Brembo brake calipers and Carbon Industrie carbon fibre discs and pads.
"A stable rear also improves corner turn-in by limiting sliding; the AMR25's rear wing has been designed with this in mind," Aston Martin concluded.
