Fernando Alonso's Aston Martin's flexible front wing sets the internet on fire

In addition to his undoubted ability as one of the best drivers in the world, Fernando Alonso 's ability to inspire the enthusiasm of millions of Formula 1 fans is also incredible. The Spaniard and the rest of the participants in the 2025 F1 World Championship have today climbed into their new cars for pre-season testing. It is the first opportunity to see the new features in action on the cars and on the grid, with a good number of drivers wearing new colours on their suits.

And in this scenario, the Spanish two-time world champion has once again stood out. His revamped car has been one of the most eye-catching on the Shakir circuit (Bahrain) with many new features and the imminent arrival of aerodynamics guru Adrian Newey in the team from March.

The British team has been working hard in recent months to rebuild a car that performed far below expectations last season. So much so that almost ninety percent of the car is new , with changes to the floor, the sidepods and the front wing.

Its performance is therefore unknown, pending what can be seen in these practices on the asphalt and in the first races of the season that begins on March 16. But the fans have already been excited by the first laps of Fernando Alonso and his Aston Martin. And the reason is the aforementioned changes to the front wing.

A good number of fans have been left with the image of this important part of the new car and its performance in the first hours of testing, in which the Spanish driver has always been in the top positions and has even led the time table . A part that has recovered a characteristic that made the car fly in 2023.

Videos shared on social media along with comments full of excitement about what it could mean, show that the Aston Martin front wing is flexible, as it was two seasons ago , when Aston Martin surprised everyone by unexpectedly fighting for podiums.

A fundamental element of the cars' aerodynamics, it moved noticeably as the AMR25 tackled curves or straights, depending on the visibility of the logo of one of the team's sponsors, more or less hidden depending on the moment.

Despite the messages of caution from the British team, the new features of the AMR25 have once again raised expectations about the performance of the Asturian and his car, which will also benefit from Newey's wisdom in its development during the season .

To see whether or not this is true, we will have to wait until all the drivers are out in action with their new cars and until the start of the Formula 1 season, scheduled for March 16 at the Albert Park circuit in Melbourne, Australia.
