The key Mercedes change revealed by Aston Martin’s 2024 F1 car
- Posted by cruz on Feb 12, 2024
Aston Martin is gunning for Red Bull with its 2024 F1 car - which has revealed a key change that Mercedes has made.
Aston Martin started last year as Red Bull’s closest challengers and has made “changes all over” with its 2024 car, which it hopes will be able to fight for a first win in this identity - the last victory coming as Racing Point in 2020.
It has adopted the view that Red Bull is “absolutely beatable” in 2024, with technical director Dan Fallows declaring Aston Martin is “very pleased with what we’ve been able to achieve but this is the first step”.
What Mercedes has done will play a significant role in that. We’ve known that Mercedes wanted to make a big mechanical platform change with its 2024 car after two years of struggling to crack this era of technical regulations, and the AMR24 gives us the first clue of how Mercedes intends to do that.
