How Aston Martin has evolved its F1 concept for 2024

After its lightning start with last year’s car, Aston Martin aims to evolve with the AMR24 and have a challenger that can also fight the development war in Formula 1. From responding to Fernando Alonso’s demands to enveloping changes generated externally, here’s what Aston Martin has created for 2024

We expected two things from Aston Martin as it made its bow on Formula 1's 2024 launch season stage. Firstly, the car was going to be at least somewhat representative of a 2024 model, given that it has usually been open with its design over the past couple of seasons. Secondly, it was going to be green. Expectations were duly delivered upon.

It's likely that the team isn't quite showing its full hand with the AMR24, as it has decided to switch to a series of renders rather than studio shots, but we'll see the car on the road this afternoon during Aston Martin's shakedown - so it's not like there's anywhere to hide.

Having studied Automotive Engineering with Motorsport at the University of Hertfordshire, West Country-born Jake's original ambition was to design racing cars. During a year between studies in which he accidentally rekindled a love of writing, he took up a Master's in Motorsport Engineering at Oxford Brookes. Halfway through his master's year, he was offered a place on the Autosport Academy, conducting occasional freelance duties before becoming the press officer for Formula 2 and GP3 in 2018. Autosport offered him a return to the fold later that year to serve as its Technical Editor. His voice appears on a number of videos and podcasts, and can often be found writing about terrible Formula 1 cars in excruciating detail. In his spare time, Jake enjoys baking and blames his failure to make it past the Great British Bake-Off interviews on his tenuous grasp on choux pastry. His dream is to open a brunch cafe - and his willingness to make outrageous puns in inappropriate situations has earned him the contempt of his colleagues.
