The construction of the Formula 1 car is a complex technical and logistical challenge that involves hundreds or, in some cases, thousands of personnel. From the first time pencil touches paper in the design concept meetings held by the chief designers and engineers in the performance groups to the time the car rolls out for the first race of the season, the Formula 1 factory operates flat out 24/7 to design, develop, manufacture and build parts and processes to make the fastest car they can imagine within the confines of the rules.
The process of realising the AMR23, the 2023 car from Aston Martin Aramco Cognizant F1 Team, is no different. The highly competitive racer employs an all new design featuring sculpted upper side pods with the down-washing rear body design pioneered by Red Bull on its RB18. Technical Director of Aston Martin Aramco Cognizant F1 Team, Dan Fallows, explained that the AMR23 takes onboard all the learnings from it’s 2022 campaigning AMR22. He noted that the AMR23 was an almost completely new car, designed and developed from scratch for the 2023 season, which meant that the 12,000 plus parts all needed to be created in the 12 months leading up to the car launch.
