Aston Martin confirm launch date for 2025 challenger

Aston Martin have announced that their 2025 F1 car will break cover on February 23, just days after the team unveil their livery for the campaign during the F1 75 Live season launch event at London’s The O2 on February 18.

The AMR25 will be launched across the squad’s digital channels before it hits the track one day later as part of a promotional event at the Bahrain International Circuit on February 24.

Only a few days after that, Aston Martin will join the rest of the field for pre-season testing at the same venue, which this year will take place across three days from February 26-28. The campaign then kicks off with the Australian Grand Prix on March 14-16.

The outfit are one of only two on the grid to run an entirely unchanged driver line-up in 2025, as Fernando Alonso and Lance Stroll return for their third season as team mates.

Aston Martin have also retained Felipe Drugovich and Stoffel Vandoorne as their test and reserve drivers for the campaign.
