Summary
Mark Hughes and former F1 technical director Gary Anderson join Edd Straw to pore over the new Aston Martin AMR24, which was unveiled ahead of a shakedown at Silverstone on Monday. They discuss how it has evolved from its predecessor, and what clues it offers up about the new Mercedes, with which it shares several parts. And finally, there's chat about where Aston might be in the pecking order in 2024, and about the future of Fernando Alonso, who is entering the final year of his deal with Aston Martin and might now be on Mercedes' radar, given Lewis Hamilton's impending move to Ferrari.
