Safety cars for the 2023 Formula 1 season

March 2, 2023 Francis Mitterrand

The new season of Formula 1 will start soon, and the safety cars will be Aston Martin and Mercedes-AMG. The contract was signed two years ago and the British manufacturer announced that it will use the Aston Martin Vantage and the recently introduced DBX707. Mercedes-AMG still hasn’t decided which cars it will use.

Aston Martin DBX707 is the most powerful SUV in the world that will replace last year’s DBX. It is powered by a 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 engine with 707 hp (520 kW), making it the most powerful SUV in the world. It reaches 62 mph in 3.3 seconds with a top speed of 193 mph (310 km / h). The power of its powerful engine is transmitted to all wheels via a fast 9-speed automatic transmission with improved differential and limited traction.

Aston Martin F1 Vantage is powered by a 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 engine with 528 hp (388 kW) and 505 lb-ft (685 Nm) of torque. Power is transmitted to the rear wheels via an 8-speed ZF automatic transmission. It reaches 62 mph in 3.6 seconds with a top speed of 195 mph (314 km / h). Both cars will wear a green livery similar to that of Fernando Alonso and Lance Stroll.

Mercedes has yet to reveal which cars it will field in Formula 1 this year. Last season, the AMG GT Black Series was used as a safety car, and the GT 63 S 4-Door Coupe as a medical car.

The new season starts on March 5 in Bahrain, and the last race will be held on November 26 in Abu Dhabi.

Fernando Alonso drove the new Aston Martin DBX707

February 24, 2023 Francis Mitterrand

The new Formula 1 season is about to start, and Fernando Alonso is one of the drivers who changed teams this year. After two years as an Alpine driver, he recently signed a multi-year contract with Aston Martin. But, before the start of the season, he also took part in filming commercials for his new employer, driving his very own DBX707 to the limits on the track in pursuit of the perfect lap.

At the beginning of last year, Aston Martin unveiled its new SUV, the DBX707, whose production began in mid-2022. It was the beginning of a new era for the British car manufacturer, which marks a new level of SUV performance.

The car is a symbol of the brand’s ability to combine top luxury with high performance. In addition to positive reactions from customers and the media, Aston Martin also offered new employment opportunities to people from the local community.

The DBX707 is powered by a 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 engine with 707 hp (520 kW), making it the most powerful SUV in the world.

2023 Alfa Romeo F1 car is up for auction

February 14, 2023 Francis Mitterrand

After the new F1 car was unveiled last week, Alfa Romeo announced that one of the cars used at the launch will be auctioned. The C43 car will come with autographs by current Alfa Romeo team drivers.

This is not a rule, to sell the car before the start of the official Formula 1 season. This means that the new C43 will become unique after it is sold at auction. Until now, cars were auctioned during the season or at the end of the season.

The car has the same dimensions as the original racing cars that will be used in the races. All parts of the car are made of carbon fiber, and were created in the same production processes as the original Formula 1 car. It should be noted that the car does not have an engine nor can it be installed because the chassis does not allow it. Also, it does not have any other mechanism that allows it to move, so it is only for exhibitions.

Regardless of all the shortcomings that the Alfa Romeo Formula 1 car has, we are sure that there will be no shortage of interested buyers. The auction ends on February 21st and the current highest bid is £102,000.00.
