The presentations of the teams are coming to an end.
Over the past 7 days, many teams have unveiled their new 2023 racing cars. AlphaTauri presented the AT04 live from New York during the Fashion Week, with a different livery compared to previous seasons, featuring design changes. However, the model doesn’t reveal much. We will have to wait for the Bahrain tests to learn more about the technical aspects of the AT04.
McLaren and Aston Martin have decided to unveil their F1 2023 cars on the same day, Monday. McLaren presented its MCL60, paying homage to McLaren’s 60 years of existence. While the papaya orange livery remains, notable improvements have been made in terms of aerodynamics. The Aston Martin AMR23 also underwent significant changes and was presented with both father and son, Stroll, as well as the new driver, Fernando Alonso, coming from Alpine. Aston Martin does not hide its ambitions and thirst for victory.
Ferrari made a sensation on Valentine’s Day. The SF-23 was presented directly at the Fiorano circuit, the testing track of the Scuderia Ferrari, in front of specially placed tifosi in a temporary grandstand for the occasion. The dynamic and passionate presentation also allowed us to see the SF23 take to the track with Charles Leclerc behind the wheel.
Mercedes is the last team in our video recap to have presented their F1 car: the W14. In order to recapture its glory days and make the F1 car as light as possible, the team has chosen a black color derived from raw carbon, which can be seen on most parts of the W14.
Finally, Alpine presented last night its A523 with not one, but two liveries, like last year, thanks to its sponsor who loves pink: BWT. Another big announcement, Zinedine Zidane becomes an Alpine ambassador to promote equal opportunities jointly with the Alpine Reacher program.
Canal+ will broadcast live the second Grand Prix of the season.
Last piece of news to remember this week, the live broadcast of the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix on Canal+. This is the second race on the calendar, scheduled for mid-March.
