Aston Martin faces the third year of his project in Formula 1 and the goal of the Silverstone brand is clear: “To become world title contenders.”
This is how the British team expresses it in a text published on its website in which they analyze five reasons to dream for the new F1 season.
The first, of course, is Fernando Alonso and the signings that the team has executed. The Spaniard, “one of the preeminent pilots of his generation, has a restless hunger and is determined to help bring the team to the front of the grid“, will form a balanced couple “exciting youth, experience and a relentless will to win” with Lance Stroll.
In addition, the team will have the Formula 2 champion, Philip Drugovichand the Formula E champion, Stoffel Vandoorneas official reserve pilots.
The runners are joined by the signing of Pedro de la Rosa as ambassador of Aston Martin and trusted man Fernando Alonso.
At the same time, the team also highlights the new factory as a reason to be excited. “We will begin our move in the spring,” they say in relation to facilities “with state-of-the-art technology, including a completely new simulator and wind tunnel.” “It will be F1’s first ‘smart factory'”they add.
In turn, the signings of the gurus of Red Bull and Mercedes are reasons to believe given the “aggressive design” qthat they have made for the AM23, “Aston Martin’s first F1 car designed under the supervision of technical director Dan Fallows and assistant technical director Eric Blandin“.
According to the team, part of the design innovation will lie in the floor edges and in the diffuser.
Finally, Aston Martin refers to the Las Vegas and Qatar Grands Prixwhich return to the calendar, and to the support from his followers as reasons to be excited about 2023.
