Aston Martin reveals first images of 2025 F1 car

Aston Martin has revealed the first images of its 2025 Formula 1 car – the AMR25.

The car features much changed sidepods compared to its predecessor the AMR24, while unlike Ferrari Aston Martin has stuck with a pushrod front suspension and the British squad has also applied this arrangement at the rear of its machines. 

The AMR25 features a largely unchanged livery from 2024, having been first disclosed along with the colour schemes for the other nine F1 squads at F175 on Tuesday.

It comes after a disappointing year for Aston Martin, as it finished fifth in the 2024 constructors’ standings with zero podiums having claimed eight of them in 2023. 

“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,” said its driver Fernando Alonso.

“The competition is going to be very tight in the last year of the current regulations, but I know the team have been working hard at the AMRTC to make sure we are ready.”

His team-mate Lance 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.”

Aston Martin views the upcoming campaign as one where it must demonstrate to owner Lawrence Stroll that it will not go backwards having fallen away since the start of 2023 and in the AMR25 that its technical team has taken onboard the feedback from Alonso and Stroll Jr.

In particular, the team has wanted to address the low-speed corner handling and through-corner balance for its drivers.

The AMR25 is also the first Aston to really benefit from the team’s rebuilt and expanded factory situated across the road from British Grand Prix venue, Silverstone.

At F175, new team boss Andy Cowell – the ultra-successful ex-Mercedes engine chief – was keen to highlight to the assembled media including Autosport that the reworked factory has meant the AMR25 spent longer being designed before going into production compared to its predecessors.

This should benefit Aston Martin in its new design being that bit more mature regarding its development before even being assembled for the first time.

Alonso and Stroll will complete a filming day with the AMR25 on Monday – alongside Mercedes and its W16 challenger – in Bahrain ahead of 2025 pre-season testing starting at the Sakhir track on the 26-28 February.
