Aston Martin’s revamped 2024 F1 car has offered a clue about a key concept 🦋change that will also feaཧture on Mercedes’ W15.

The Silverstone-based outfit kicked off a b൲ig week of car launches by revealing their brand new AMR24 challenger for the upcoming 2024 F1 season on Monday.

As part of many changes to their new car, Aston Martin have switched to a push-rod rear suspension layo♏ut.

This change is also set to be inco☂rporated into the design of the W15, which will be unveiled on Wednesday, given Aston Martin takes 𒉰the same gearbox and rear suspension layout as Mercedes.

“The front𓃲 s💯uspension layout, that is a similar layout to what we had on the AMR23, so still a push-rod,” Aston Martin technical director Dan Fallows explained.

ꦦ“We’ve inherited new suspension from Mercedes. They give us the gearbox and the structure of the rear suspension, so that has changed slightly from l𒁏ast year as well.

“So, there’s a change on♓ the rear, but on the front it’s very similar.”

Fallows described the AMR24 as a “strong evolution” of Aston Mart👍in’s 2023 car.

“We’ve made changes all over the car. It’s very different in many ways,” 𒆙he said.

“The majority of the parts have changed ✤on it, but it is still really essentially a strong evolution of last year’s car.🅺 We have kind of built on the end of AMR23.

“The obvious things 𒆙that you’ll see that are different, are things like the nose and front wing. Bodywork will be different.

“But there’s also quite a lot of stuff under the hood, which hopefully you won’t see! We will ⛎obviously try and keep some of that under wraps.”

Aston Martin made a stunning start to the 2023 season by emerging from the winter as Red Bull’s nearest challengers, with 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Fernando Alonso taking several podiums in the early rounds.

The team’s performance dipped midway through the campaign as rival teams overtoo🅰k them in the development race, and that is something Aston Martin are keen to address with their new car.

“We’re very pleased with the step that we’ve made over the winter,” Fallows adde💎d. 

“We think we have made a step on last year’s car, which is what we wanted. But in truth i൩t is a short off-season and we were developing things that were relevant for this year quite late on into last season.

“Theꦺ main aim for us🦄 is really to make sure that this car is a good platform to put those developments on during the season.

“We’ve seen particularly last season, but also 💝the season before, the in-season development race is absolutely fierce and we want to be as competit𒆙ive in that as we have been going into the new season.

“So that's what we’ve been realꦗly focused on, to𝓀 make sure that we’ve got a good, stable basis for us to go and develop the car and keep those updates coming and keep the performance coming.”
