The Aston Martin Aramco Formula One® Team is proud to debut its new challenger for the 2024 season – the AMR24. On a significant day for Aston Martin, the new Vantage road car and Aston Martin Vantage GT3 join the AMR24 marking a trilogy of reveals.

In its iconic racing green livery, complete with Aramco title partner branding, the AMR24 represents a strong and exciting evolution from its predecessor which catapulted the team to eight podiums and 280 points in 2023. The AMR24 evolves the same design philosophy but there is minor carryover with the majority of the parts being new for 2024. The continuous refinement of the AMR24 has resulted in a lighter, more aerodynamically efficient race car, designed to operate across a wider range of circuits.

00:00 I'm super happy to be on the second season for Aston Martin.
00:04 Much easier than last year, a little bit more familiar everything. I don't need to spend too
00:10 much time with the seat fitting and all the things that we had last year at this time. So,
00:15 yeah, more focused on performance and hopefully repeating a very good season.
00:19 This year I didn't change much in terms of preparation into the season. It was December
00:26 was more or less free, a little bit of holidays and Christmas with my family in Spain, which was
00:31 very much needed. And then in January, normal routine on fitness preparation. Also try to
00:37 organize a little bit traveling. This year is the longest season ever in Formula One with 24 Grand
00:43 Prix. And yeah, we try to be efficient in the way we travel and always fit in every race.
00:49 The new car looks good, looks great, looks more aggressive, more sophisticated as well.
00:56 So there are not only changes on the outside, but also inside the bodywork. There are quite
01:01 interesting solutions. We understood a lot of things last year on the 23 car that we implemented
01:07 on the 24. And hopefully we can be fast and more consistent than last year. I think in Bahrain,
01:14 the main goal is to make sure that we understand the car, how we operate the car,
01:20 try different setups and getting ready for race one. There is very limited testing
01:26 in these days in Formula One, only one day and a half for each driver. So it's crucial to have
01:31 not any issue at all in testing and take as many laps as possible and get that data that
01:39 is very useful for the team. I think the goal for this year is try to repeat or improve what
01:47 we achieved last year, which is obviously a very high level already because it was a very
01:52 competitive season. But we want to be regularly in the points. We want to be fighting as well
01:57 regularly for podiums and be a contender for podiums every race. And it will be lovely if we
02:03 can achieve that first win for the brand, first win for Aston Martin in green. If I can be behind
02:10 that wheel, it will make me very proud and we will fight hard for that.
