The Aston Martin which Fernando Alonso took to second place in Montreal, just nine seconds behind the winning Red Bull of Max Verstappen, featured a heavily updated sidepod arrangement.
The AMR23’s sidepod arrangement – with its deep ‘waterslide’ channel on its upper surface – was already highly distinctive. The new bodywork retains the same basic layout but with an enhanced undercut in the front-lower edges of the sidepods, while the ‘waterslide’ feature has been narrowed and deepened.
