00:00 We're here at the fabulous Aston Martin Technology Campus
00:04 and we're here to present the world with our new challenger, the AMR24 for this season.
00:08 It is incredibly exciting to present the world with our new car, the AMR24,
00:13 after an enormous amount of work behind the scenes over the winter and even at the end of last season.
00:20 The key areas of focus over the winter have really been trying to expand on the good aspects of last year's car.
00:26 This is really a strong evolution of the AMR23 and we've focused on all areas of the aerodynamics
00:32 and we've also looked at some of the mechanical components as well.
00:36 But it is an evolution and we're looking for it to be a good platform for development through the year.
00:41 So this is the first car that we've developed here at this new Technology Campus
00:45 and that does play a big part in its evolution.
00:48 We have manufacturing facilities on site now which we haven't had before.
00:53 We have offices where people are much more able to communicate better than we were before
00:58 and that has an enormous impact on the way that we communicate, the way we operate as a team
01:02 and it really helps us to be more cohesive and hopefully put a better package together.
01:08 So the development strategy for this car is really to make sure we take the basis of this car and evolve it.
01:15 We've got some very clear directions of things we want to do.
01:19 We want to see how they operate on track and we want to make sure that we get some good updates
01:24 coming along at regular intervals to make sure that we show that performance improvement
01:29 and move our way up the grid.
01:31 So we had a very strong year last year and we want to make sure that we make a step on that
01:36 and show increased progression this year.
01:39 And really our target is to continue to score points, to score more podiums
01:44 and to hopefully look for our next win in green.
