Aston Martin delivered on their promise of bringing significant upgrades to Barcelona, to a degree that sees a radically different AMR22 in the paddock.
Big changes were expected to the Aston Martin ahead of the weekend, and their upgrades have been wholesale across the car to the point where it could reasonably be described as a B-spec car.
A report from Germany claimed that both Lance Stroll and Sebastian Vettel will run the updated cars at the weekend, as the team hope to pick themselves up from their lowly P9 standing in the Constructors’ Championship as it stands.

When pictures of the updated Aston Martin started circulating on Thursday, social media users were quick to point out the outward similarities to another team, with some users dubbing the AMR22 as a ‘Green Red Bull’, given its new look – although it is believed that significant changes to the car had been expected since pre-season testing took place.
The Silverstone team ran their 2020 car with widespread accusations that it was a ‘Pink Mercedes’, considering its striking resemblance to the 2019 Mercedes W10 – which eventually saw the team docked points, such was the closeness of their designs.
As for this week, the team turned up in Barcelona with a car that features a totally different sidepod design coupled with a new floor, with the changes brought in with the intention of solving the car’s problems with porpoising.
Changes to the AMR22’s rear wing and radiators have also been made, and team principal Mike Krack spoke previously of his desire to see Aston Martin bring some kind of update to every race this season, in the hope of bridging the gap to the rest of the midfield.
