Secret Aston Martin F1 livery uncovered ahead of pre-season testing

A new Aston Martin car design has been revealed on social media on the eve of pre-season testing in Bahrain.

The Formula 1 team recently officially unveiled the car that both Fernando Alonso and Lance Stroll will drive in the upcoming season at a special event at their Silverstone base.

Now, as that car prepares to officially start the new season with testing, it appears that the luxury car brand have another surprise for us.

A sneak peek at an under-wraps safety car shows that the Aston Martin Vantage, which is used alongside Mercedes-AMG's GT Black Series at race events throughout the year, has been given a bit of a paint job.

Safety car with a new look

Normally donning a simple dark green look that we are used to seeing on the brand's F1 cars, it appears as though the safety car for the 2024 season will instead feature a black and dark green striped look, breaking from tradition.

Aston Martin have shared safety car duties with Mercedes since 2021, with legendary German racer Bernd Maylander continuing to head up the field in the event of an incident or bad weather.

F1's new season officially gets underway a week after testing, with the Bahrain Grand Prix the first of 24 races on the 2024 calendar.
