F1 Spanish GP: Aston Martin to bring half NEW CAR in Barcelona: According to reports, Aston Martin will bring a ‘half new car’ at this year’s Spanish Grand Prix in order to compete in the midfield and also fetch a good haul of points. They failed to score in the first three races but came back into the points in Imola and Miami. Follow Formula 1 Updates on InsideSport.IN.
According to Auto Motor und Sport’s Michael Schmidt, Aston Martin engineers have let him know there will be large changes to the AMR22 at the Barcelona race which will be ‘very visible’.

The vehicle could be very similar to the Ferrari F1-75 with a slimmer back and wide sidepods. Meanwhile, Schmidt said, “Maybe it will be a Ferrari copy, let’s see.”
Six points after five races aren’t what Lawrence Stroll pursued when he purchased the F1 group and rebranded it Aston Martin, and as such, the group is apparently set to spend what is most likely a major chunk of their 2022 financial plan cap presenting ‘a half new car’ at the Spanish Grand Prix.
It wouldn’t be the first time that Aston Martin first ‘copied’ another car, with their ‘pink Mercedes’ in 2020. That prompted the FIA to brace down on copycat plans, so while the reexamined AMR22 might seem to be the Ferrari it won’t be a precise duplicate.

Meanwhile, Schmidt added it isn’t ‘100 percent certain’ that the vehicle will be prepared in time for the Barcelona race because of deficiencies in the material the group needs to assemble the vehicle. The group may just have an adequate number of parts for one of the drivers to get the redesign.
“Technical director Andy Green is convinced there is more to the car than just midfield positions. Therefore, a completely renewed AMR22 is already in the works. At first glance, it will differ significantly from its predecessor and should then also be immune to bouncing. The aim of the premiere is the Spanish GP, but delivery problems could delay the debut by a week. Or only one of the two B versions is ready in Barcelona,” he concluded.
