The 2023 Aston Martin F1 machine, the AMR23, arrived like a green wasp and immediately started bothering the big teams.
It packed a Mercedes 1.6‑litre turbo‑hybrid and was steered by Fernando Alonso and Lance Stroll, with Alonso hoovering up early-season podiums like a Dyson on tile.
Strengths were traction, tyre care, and slow-to-medium corners; weaknesses were a temperamental upgrade path and less potent DRS/high‑speed aero versus the class leader.
No wins, but regular top‑fives and a stack of P3s made it the surprise of the year and a crowd favourite.
If you’re wondering about how fast, think F1-fast: silly downforce, savage braking, and lap times that make supercars look like they’ve left the handbrake on.
