Since last May at the Spanish Grand Prix in Montmeló, the green team put aside the evolution of the 2022 car to focus on the 2023 car, and the change is noticeable.
It is the first single-seater built entirely by Dan Fallows, ex-Red Bull, and Eric Blandin, former Mercedes engineer. Two authentic ‘gurus’ of the Formula 1.
As could be seen in the presentation, and in the absence of the coming-out in the Bahrain tests, it became clear that Aston Martin has taken the best of Red Bull, Ferrari and Mercedes.

Regarding the front of the car, there is a narrower and longer nose until the end.
In fact, the front wing in arrow mode it seeks to emulate the style of Mercedes with a higher ‘flap’.
Lastly, the suspension system it is ‘push-rod’, but redesigned compared to the 2022 car, giving it more elements.
