Adorned in its iconic racing green livery, embellished with Aramco title partner branding, the AMR24 signifies a compelling evolution from its predecessor, which propelled the team to eight podium finishes and 280 points in the previous season.

Notable enhancements include a redesigned front wing and over-wheel winglets to optimize airflow management, as well as a comprehensive overhaul of the sidepods and bodywork to enhance aerodynamic performance.
Underpinning the AMR24's performance is a push-rod suspension layout at both the front and rear, meticulously engineered to optimize performance and aerodynamic efficiency. Fallows emphasized the importance of continuous development in maximizing downforce generation, particularly through the optimization of the car's floor design.
Drivers Lance Stroll and Fernando Alonso conveyed their excitement and optimism for the upcoming season, highlighting the team's progress and aspirations for further success. Stroll emphasized the team's hunger for progress, while Alonso commended the team's achievements on and off the track, expressing anticipation for the challenges ahead.
