Aston Martin fans, your wait is almost over as Team Silverstone has officially announced the launch date for its 2025 Formula 1 challenger, the AMR25.

Mark your calendars for this Sunday at 5 pm GMT, because that's when the wraps will come off the car that carries the team's hopes for a return to podium contention.

Fresh off the glitz and glamour of the sport’s F1 75 season launch event that took place this week in London, where Aston Martin showcased tweaks to its iconic racing green livery, the team is now turning its attention to the main event – the unveiling of the actual car.

While the livery reveal offered a tantalizing glimpse of what's to come, the AMR25 itself promises to be a significant step forward.

A Crucial Year for Aston Martin

Aston, now helmed by team principal Andy Cowell, will be looking to reignite its competitive spark this season after a frustrating 2024 campaign that saw it fail to reach the podium even once – a stark contrast to 2023, when Fernando Alonso claimed an impressive eight podium finishes.

The AMR25 will not only be tasked with bringing Aston Martin back to the sharp end of the grid but will also lay the foundation for an ambitious future.

Adrian Newey, the team's biggest off-track signing, will arrive on March 3 as Managing Technical Partner, bringing a significant shift to the team’s engineering power.

While Newey’s primary focus will be on Aston Martin’s 2026 machine, which will run with Honda power instead of the current Mercedes engines, the 2025 season remains critical.

The team must balance developing its current package while preparing for the major regulation overhaul in 2026, making AMR25 a crucial stepping stone in the squad’s evolution.

With Newey on board and a renewed focus on development, the team is leaving no stone unturned in its quest for success.

Sunday's launch will provide the first real glimpse of the car that will carry those hopes. Get ready to see the AMR25 in all its glory – green, mean, and ready to race.

Motor racing was a backdrop from the outset in Phillip van Osten's life. Born in Southern California, Phillip grew up with the sights and sounds of fast cars thanks to his father, Dick van Osten, an editor and writer for Auto Speed and Sport and Motor Trend. Phillip's passion for racing grew even more when his family moved to Europe and he became acquainted with the extraordinary world of Grand Prix racing. He was an early contributor to the monthly French F1i Magazine, often providing a historic or business perspective on Formula 1's affairs. In 2012, he co-authored along with fellow journalist Pierre Van Vliet the English-language adaptation of a limited edition book devoted to the great Belgian driver Jacky Ickx. He also authored "The American Legacy in Formula 1", a book which recounts the trials and tribulations of American drivers in Grand Prix racing. Phillip is also a commentator for Belgian broadcaster Be.TV for the US Indycar series.
