Aston Martin has a privilege: it is the first 2022 single-seater to hit the track. AMR22 is filming at Silverstone for the first of two filming days.
After presenting yesterday in Gaydon, the headquarters of the British brand, the latest creature curated by Andy Green, the team based not far from the English track has started a shakedown of the “verdona” to discover that everything works properly in the 100 km that are granted by the FIA in these events which should be promotional and which, on the other hand, become valid opportunities to find out about any problems with the assembly of the ground-effect single-seater.
The driver in charge of the first lap was Lance Stroll, but Sebastian Vettel should also have the opportunity to take a run with the AMR22.
The first image posted on Twitter by the Aston Martin team shows a car that is the one seen yesterday at the presentation. The Canadian driver came out of the pits with a set of Pirelli Cinturato full wet tires, as it is particularly cold and the asphalt was very wet, while the sun came out.
The Aston Martin is an F1 that can be counted among the single-seaters with “double bottom”, that is to say that above the Venturi channels, imposed by the regulations to generate the downforce, there is a second passage of air under the belly. high and long that contains radiators that have been placed in a more horizontal position, precisely to free up space for this aerodynamic concept.
The technicians, therefore, focused on aerodynamic advantages in spite of the mechanical ones, moving bulky masses such as the cooling radiators of the power unit plus Mercedes higher in spite of a good center of gravity. We will find out how the AMR22 goes from the first statements of those who have driven it …
