GAYDON, United Kingdom – The latest Aston Martin Formula One car, the AMR22, broke cover Thursday in a special launch event held at the global headquarters of Aston Martin Lagonda.
The AMR22 car was revealed on the factory production line, led by the team’s drivers Lance Stroll and Sebastian Vettel. Also in attendance were Executive Chairman Lawrence Stroll, alongside Chief Technical Officer Andrew Green and Performance Director Tom McCullough.
The AMR22 includes a radical aerodynamic design philosophy as prescribed by the new technical rules, which have been designed to deliver more competitive racing. An updated car livery features lime details blended across a refined version of the traditional green livery.
Aramco logos are incorporated into the livery to mark the beginning of a strategic long-term partnership, while branding from title partner, Cognizant, appears on the sidepods, chassis top, front wing and rear wing.
Prominent logos from Peroni Nastro Azzurro 0.0%, Crypto.com, SentinelOne and JCB also feature across the AMR22.
“The Aston Clinton hill climb is about an hour’s drive from Gaydon and it was there that Lionel Martin launched Aston Martin into the heat of competition,” said Lawrence Stroll. “That was the start of the climb that our Formula One team is still on today. We have a five-year plan to keep climbing and get to the top.
“To win in Formula One everything has to be in the right place and a lot of moving parts have to come together. You need the right people in every part of the team and you need the right partners to help make that possible. At Aston Martin we have wonderful and highly valued partners, including our title partner, Cognizant, and I am delighted to welcome Aramco as our long-term strategic partner.”
The AMR22 will hit the track for the first time Friday for a filming day before pre-season testing begins at Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya on Feb. 23-25.
