Aston Martin’s revamped 2024 F1 car has offered a clue about a key concept change that will also feature on Me🐎rcedes’ W15.

The ♚Silverstone-based outfit kicked off a big week of car laun♍ches by revealing their brand new AMR24 challenger for the upcoming 2024 F1 season on Monday.

As part of many ch﷽anges to their new car, Aston♑ Martin have switched to a push-rod rear suspension layout.

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

🎀“The front suspension layout, that is a similar layout to what we had on the AMR23, so still a push-rod,” Aston Martin technical director Dan Fallow𒐪s explained.

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

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

Fallows described t🌠he AMR24 as a “strong evolution” of Aston Martin’s 2023 car.

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

“Th⛎e 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 th൲e end of AMR23.

“The obvious things that you’ll see that are different, 🐻are things like t꧂he nose and front wing. Bodywork will be different.

“But there’s also quite a lot of stuff under the hood, whi🌱ch 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 overtook them in the development race, and thatꦕ is somethin🍎g Aston Martin are keen to address with their new car.

“We’re very pleased with the step that we’ve made over the 𝔉winter,” Fallows added. 

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

“The main aim for us is reaဣlly to make sure that this car is a good pla💯tform 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 a♚s competitive in that as we have been going into the new season.

“So that's what we’ve been really focused on, to mak𓂃e 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.”
