Aston Martin was the first team to announce the launch date of its 2022 car, choosing an online event on February 10.
The Aston Martin brand returned to F1 last year after rebranding from Racing Point. The team will unveil a car called the AMR22 at an online event in Gaydon, home of Aston Martin Lagonda.
F1 will get a complete overhaul of its cars next year. The belief is that the new cars will promote closer races and better wheel racing, and it could also radically change the competitive order that has been seen in recent seasons.
F1’s first test took place February 23-25 at Spain’s Circuit de Catalunya.
Why F1 hopes 2022 new-look cars is a game
Aston Martin owner Lawrence Stroll has lofty ambitions for the team and pinpointed this rule change as an opportunity for his team to move ahead of the grid.
Aston Martin drivers Sebastian Vettel and Lance Stroll will be present at the launch event, along with “key members” of the team. Aston Martin is currently without a F1 team boss following the departure of Otmar Szafnauer earlier this month.
Marcin Budkowski, who stepped down from his role as chief executive of Alpine this week, is involved in the job that Szafnauer vacated.
