In the morning, Lance Stroll. In the afternoon, Fernando Alonso. Aston Martin is already rolling the AMR23 at Silverstone two days after it was unveiled to enormous anticipation.
It was the first test of the green team. A test limited to 100 kilometers. The team will roll again in the preseason in Bahrain (Sakhir circuit), at the end of February (between the 23rd and 25th).

Alonso’s Mission
Fernando Alonso has insisted in recent days that his illusion is total: “I have always said it. I could see the ambition that shines through in Aston Martin.”
“Everyone sees the magnitude of the ambition here. The people who have made it to the team show it, and so does the leadership of Lawrence Stroll. We want success to come as soon as possible,” said the two-time Formula 1 champion.
Aware that winning in 2023 is “almost impossible”, laying the foundations for the future is essential: “This car has a very neat look and it is tremendously efficient. I can’t wait to start this new adventure. Ensuring there is a good foundation for the future of Aston Martin cars.”
Enjoy that, @alo_oficial? 😁#AMR23 pic.twitter.com/tSz7XONWal
