The road to AMR22: Taking on the 2022 F1 regulations

Formula One's technical revolution is well underway for Aston Martin Aramco Cognizant Formula One™ Team, following one of the most complex winters in Team Silverstone history.

Taking on the challenge

After a sustained period of technical stability, F1's regulations will lead to a series of sleeker, more simplistic designs targeting improved wheel-to-wheel racing, facilitated by the return of ground effect.

"Really, we are throwing away everything we’ve previously done and starting again," explains Chief Technical Officer, Andrew Green.

"It's been one of the steepest development curves that we’ve ever experienced – we've seen a 50% increase in performance in a matter of months, which is unprecedented."

 It's taken over a year to reach the moment in which the AMR22 was revealed to the world. Learn about the most complex winter in Team Silverstone history.

Regulation changes can often create a mixed-up grid in the early stages of a season, with a wider pace differential between the cars while teams get fully up to speed with their new designs.

Combined with an aggressive development race expected across the field, the power of simulation and data has never been more essential.

With no 'real' data on the car, the team has pushed the virtual boundaries, complimented by a suite of technical partners including Aramco, Cognizant, SentinelOne, Juniper Networks, NetApp and more.

"Formula One is all about data," explains Performance Director Tom McCullough. "To optimise the performance, you need data quickly at your fingertips to make better, more informed decisions all the time.

It has been over a year in the making, featuring thousands of working hours across the various stages of production and simulation to bring the AMR22 into existence. Next stop: testing.
