Summary
Aston Martin’s hopes for 2025 with the new AMR 25 are discussed in the latest edition of The Race F1 Podcast.
Jon Noble joins Edd Straw to examine why this year’s car is important for Aston Martin if it’s to deliver on the high-expectations for 2025, and what the team needs to do to prove its on the right track.
We explain why Adrian Newey’s impact is yet to come, and highlight the role Andy Cowell has played in changing the way the team works in a way that should hopefully ensure it has an easier-to-drive car this year.
Finally, Gary Anderson, who was the founding technical director of this team in its Jordan guise, joins us to offer his in-depth technical analysis of the car.
