While analyzing the new machine, one thing was noticed in the 3D renders of the car. The car has a rear pushrod and the way the car is constructed, looking at the gearbox tells us that Mercedes could be going the same way too.

Krack reflected on the past while saying, “2023 was our best season to date and our goal this season is to score regular points, podiums, and fight for our first win in green.” With this, Aston Martin Racing is ready for a dominant 2024 season with two amazing drivers who are ready to take the team to the podiums.

Who is driving for Aston Martin Racing in 2024?

For the driver seats in Aston Martin, the team has gone for the approach of pairing a veteran driver with a promising younger driver to have the best of both worlds; and so far it is working. The drivers from 2023, Fernando Alonso and Lance Stroll will be behind the wheel again, battling it out to compete against the top three teams. Felipe Drugovich will also resume his duties as a reserve and test team driver for the Silverstone-based team.

Although the team finished 5th in the Constructor Cup, Fernando Alonso is a reliable driver with 2 world championship titles under his belt. In the last season, Alonso stood fourth in the driver’s rankings, scoring 206 points for the team. On the other hand, Lance Stroll had an uneventful 10th position, scoring 74 points.

Alonso’s experience over the years in F1 paired with Stroll’s promising driving gave Aston Martin Racing a chance to escape the midfield and move toward the battle for the championship. Although it was not the best year for 2023, ending the season midway has left a lot of room for improvement in the cars and drivers.
