Aston Martin’s 2023 Formula 1 car is visually striking, “aggressive” in its creators’ own words, and a landmark in the ambitious development of the team.
That’s because it’s the first car overseen by perhaps its most important recent recruit. And we’re not talking about Fernando Alonso.
We’re in fact talking about technical director Dan Fallows, one of a swathe of new personnel who have joined Aston Martin in recent times.
He arrived in April last year from Red Bull, which was very reluctant to let him go, and he has overseen the Aston Martin AMR23 from its inception.
Given his background and Red Bull’s dominance of F1 last year, it’s no surprise that the car takes plenty of design cues from the all-conquering RB18.
But that’s not to say it’s a copy, far from it, as there’s also some inspiration from Mercedes and what Aston Martin hopes are its own fresh ideas that will give it a car capable of fighting at the front of the midfield this year.
