Although there are no major rule changes for the upcoming campaign - unliꦗke the regulation overhaul in 2022 - Aston Martin’s deputy technical director Eric Blandin has suggested there are loopholes teams can take advantage of. 

“We've implemented a few clever innovations on the new car – they're the icing on the cake,” Blandin said in an interview on the official A🃏ston Martin website. 

“They’re a nice-to-have, but not a must-have.

“It's great when you find a small loophole and can use it to your advantage, but it's not often you can base an entire car around it. Instead, it's essential to get the basics ri🍸ght, and then you can add things.

“When you start a new car project, you identify what your limitations were the previous year – and how you can overcome them with the new design – and𝄹 you define the architecture that will give you the most potential for the future.

"If ෴you pursue the wrong concept, you can end up boxing yourself in – you run out of road for development – and that💟's a very difficult situation to get out of.”

Amid their quest to move up the F1 grid, Aston Martin have made extensive changes𒉰 to their 2023 car. 

"We took all our learnings from last year's car and applied them 💮to this year's car,” Blandin explained. 

"So much of the AMR23 is new, it's completely different from the AMR22. We've chang♑ed more than 90 per🃏 cent of the parts and more than 95 per cent of the aerodynamic surfaces are different.”

And Bl❀andin c꧋onfirmed Aston Martin will unveil their actual 2023 car at their launch on February 13. 

"We wiജll unveil the actual car, just as we di🍬d last year," he added. 

"The car we reveal at our new factory in Silverstone on 13 February will be the real AMR23. We're no๊t going to disappoint f🙈ans."
