Love the livery. Car has 2020 Merc rear suspension, narrower sidepods...I think Aston Martin has just become a very serious player.
Of course, When you are a carbon copy of a such dominant car how it could be different ? Don’t get the political weaknesses from Renault and Ferrari.
I do find it funny how they've said that this car is completely their own design...Maybe they meant livery
It’s worse than last year even. Last year they “copied”(not to say they built from data or a whole car) the previous year’s car while this year they actually managed to copy the new car!! Someone there has a HD crystal ball, seems to me.
Thats not a team or car that should be on the grid. They cheat. Period. The only thing I care for is how Vettel does vs Strolling Jr. They are cheaters in the basic sense after last year. That is not an original design. Possibly the steering wheel. The epitome of Billionaire arrogance and shortcuts to show short term gains.
The presentation video could've been a little less "manufactured". For instance, Stroll saying one of his biggest dreams was being a majority shareholder of Aston Martin Lagonda... That was before or after trying to buy Williams or having a stake in Prema Racing?
He is just playing up his ownership to save the dying brand. He cheats at F1 car building and will say anything to make a sale or try to enhance his new project. He is nothing but a salesman and the team is a toy for his child as well. Again-- he will probably sell Aston, as among the 'boutique' makers it is the weakest.
Vettel seems to have gotten over his humiliating performance of the last few years and decided it’s ok to take a dig at the team that put its trust in him and paid him disproportionately for his results: Sebastian Vettel aims dig at Ferrari during Aston Martin unveiling ‘It is not about the fancy looks or the designer chairs’ https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2021/mar/03/sebastian-vettel-aims-dig-at-ferrari-during-aston-martin-unveiling
Vettel - runs from Ricci and fired by his performance, lack of vs Charles. Now this. I thought he would learn. Pathetic brat. So he was inspired by MS to go to Ferrari. Idiot Vettel. He forgot he was not more important than Ferrari. Bye Vettel. Ferrari have earned their right to appearance and image. He enjoyed that part of Ferrari Im sure. He was fired because he did not provide results given hit titles, and as you note his payment. He should pay it back if he had any self respect.
He couldn’t touch MS with a 100 ft pole and even if MS earned the right to criticize Ferrari he never did. No class Vettel.
He should be ashamed for Singapore 2017, hockenheim 2018, Monza 2018 etc ... Baku 2017 was the cherry on the cake. Should have been fired by the team for the way he behaved on the track against Hamilton.

OMG how will the peasant Vettel deal with such posh transport. What a complete and total idiot he is after his last quote. He literally works for an image conscious company that sells over priced luxury goods as he drives an over priced luxury race car and is completely overpaid LOL!!
F1 and AM are Merc’s lap dogs now. Every Brit car company is German controlled and every Brit F1 team (and F1, it seems) is German, Austrian or American controlled. Here’s more evidence—besides AM getting Merc’s 2021 sidepod design—that this is basically 4-car team: https://www.autosport.com/f1/news/hulkenberg-could-dovetail-mercedes-aston-reserve/5594660/
