Aston Martin F1 unveiled the ‘real’ 2022 AMR22
Unveiled today by Aston Martin, Sebastian Vettel’s new-season Formula 1 car is – unlike the previous Haas VF-22 and Red Bull RB18 – the first complete and race car to be unveiled.
The new Aston Martin AMR22 was unveiled at the Aston Martin Lagonda factory in Gaydon, UK by team owner Lawrence Stroll and his two drivers, Sebastian Vettel and Lance Stroll.
Since Haas didn’t give much away with the digital blueprints of the VF-22 and yesterday Red Bull Racing with the totally basic RB18 specs (which appeared to be June’s F1 car painted in his colors), the AMR22 is the first car to be This essentially shows how the fundamentally changed technical regulations of this year were interpreted.
The AMR22 was designed by Astn Martin F1 Technical Director Andrew Green and Racing Director Tom McCallow. The British team heads into 2022 with a significant change, the departure (probably for Alpine) of its director Otmar Zafnauer.
The team’s goal for 2022 is not the championship as Aston Martin Lagonda is investing heavily in the construction of the team’s new factory in the first year. The aim is to take an important step in the direction of his strategy of achieving aspiration and title level in Formula 1 in five years.
The Aston Martin AMR22 will complete its first shakedown at Silverstone tomorrow (Friday 2/11) and its cockpit will be occupied by both Vettel and Stroll. The goal is to test its systems – and make the necessary changes – before winter car development testing begins February 23-25 in Barcelona. The first GP of 2022 will take place in Bahrain on March 20th.
