Aston Martin confirm launch date for 2024 challenger

Aston Martin has confirmed that their 2024 Formula 1 car will break cover next month in February.

The AMR24 will be launched at an event in Silverstone on the 12th February, just over two weeks before the start of the new season.

It will be driven by Fernando Alonso and Lance Stroll, with Felipe Drugovich retained as their test and reserve driver for 2024.

The team will be looking to build on the success of the AMR23, which saw seven podiums at the hands of Alonso and enabled them to finish fifth in the Constructors' Championship.

They are the fourth team to confirm their launch plans, along with Ferrari a day later on the 13th February and Williams and Sauber who will both launch on the 5th February.

The first race of the season is in Bahrain on March 2nd, with pre-season testing also taking place between 21st - 23rd February.
