Aston Martin will present their latest Formula 1 car design on Sunday 23rd February, three days before the official pre-season test begins.

The team will reveal its AMR25 in an online launch. The car will then run for the first time the following day at the Bahrain International Circuit. Both Fernando Alonso and Lance Stroll are due to have their first runs in the car.

The team will present its livery for the upcoming season at F1 75 Live, the series’ new pre-season launch event, which will take place in London on February 18th.

Aston Martin heads into the fifth season since its return to F1 seeking to reverse a sharp slide in performance last year. A strong 2023 campaign saw Alonso take the AMR23 to the podium eight times, but the team’s progress reversed last year and they failed to reach the rostrum once. Although they repeated their fifth-place finish in the constructors’ championship, their points score fell from 280 points to 94.

Andy Cowell, who joined the team in the middle of last year, has taken over as team principal from Mike Krack ahead of the new season. Aston Martin will welcome star signing Adrian Newey from Red Bull this year, who will be charged with preparing their car for F1’s new technical regulations next year, when they will become Honda’s works team. The 2025 season will be its last as a Mercedes engine customer.

The AMR25 has been designed by Aston Martin’s current engineering team, led by chief technical officer Enrico Cardile, formerly of Ferrari. Krack moved into a trackside engineering role last month.

Aston Martin has also invested heavily in its factory since Lawrence Stroll purchased the team in 2018. It moved into a new, expanded facility at its Silverstone base in 2023 and is due to begin using its new wind tunnel there later this year.
