F1 2025 launch season rolls on with the Aston Martin AMR25 the latest creation to emerge from under its covers.

This may be the last year of the current ruleset before that huge chassis and engine revamp for F1 2026, but Aston Martin are not coasting to that transition. In fact, the AMR25 represents a total redesign from its predecessor.

Under the stewardship of ambitious billionaire owner Lawrence Stroll, Aston Martin has been building the foundations for their World Championship target.

A new factory and windtunnel is up and running, F1 design legend Adrian Newey starts work from March and a Honda engine deal is agreed from F1 2026.

But before Formula 1 enters its new era, can the Aston Martin AMR25 provide the perfect shot of momentum?

The team has certainly pulled out all the stops to make sure it does, with a “100 per cent new” aerodynamic approach taken with the AMR25.

“I think we’ve got a reasonable understanding of last year’s car and what we’ve worked on through the winter is to try and create a car that is more stable through a corner and is more predictable to drive through the race,” Aston Martin Group CEO Andy Cowell told media, including PlanetF1.com, at the F1 75 launch event at London’s O2 Arena.

“We feel that that will reward us well with regard to race performance, because as well as several areas where we could see that there were improvements to make, we’ve worked on that as well through the winter.

“So the aerodynamic package of the car is close to 100 per cent new, a huge amount of effort put in at the campus by everyone.

“The aero release points were later than we’ve ever done before with a car. That’s thanks to the investment that’s been put into the campus and the capability of the operations team, in particular, but also the design group.

“Both those groups have enabled the aero development team to spend several more weekends in the wind tunnel and I’m looking forward to seeing that on track and seeing the on-track results correlate with the measurements that are done on campus.”

The changes for the Aston Martin AMR25 are extensive, including a new front wing described by the team as a “significant evolution”, while redesigned sidepods are referred to as “the most striking change visually compared” to the AMR24.

Elsewhere, there is a redesigned floor to work with the revised bodywork, plus new brake ducts front and rear.

Aston Martin continue with the same driver line-up of two-time World Champion Fernando Alonso and Lance Stroll for F1 2025, the team looking to rebound after a challenging 2024 which failed to yield a podium finish.

With the AMR25 now free from its covers, Alonso and Stroll do not have long to wait before they can experience their new challenger on the track for the first time, with a filming day scheduled for February 24 at the Bahrain International Circuit ahead of the three-day pre-season test getting underway on February 26.
