Why the Aston Martin DBX707 AMR24 matters

In the rare air of ultra-luxury performance cars, a link with F1 racing is one of the few associations that’s even cooler. In the second half of the 2023 F1 season and so far in the current season, the two-driver F1 teams from Aston Martin and McLaren Racing have both enjoyed success pushing against Red Bull, Ferrari, and Mercedes, the giants of Formula 1. Aston Martin is comfortably in the top five of the ten Formula 1 teams this season, and in several very real senses, that’s money in the bank.

Aston Martin is shrewdly using its F1 link and the company’s Vantage GT3 race car, which is also new this year. Last month, Aston Martin unveiled the Valiant special edition based on a custom design for a personal car, developed by Aston Martin F1 driver Fernando Alonso and Q by Aston Martin, the brand’s bespoke and limited edition branch.

The car has a 9-speed wet-clutch automatic transmission, and its all-wheel-drive powertrain accelerates from 0-to-60 mph in 3.1 seconds and has a top speed of 193 mph.

The DBX707 AMR24 features unique F1-inspired exterior and interior colorways, finishes, materials, and accents, including special edition badging. The special edition also includes a new Bowers & Wilkins sound system, acoustically engineered for the DBX707’s shape and volume.

F1: Liam Lawson to take the seat on Red Bull, partnering with Max Verstappen
Red Bull has a deep racing organization with many promising drivers
Liam Lawson replaced Daniel Ricciardo on RB Honda mid-season in 2024.

Red Bull Racing names RB Honda driver Liam Lawson to fill the vacant seat for the F1 2025 season. Lawson's selection comes just one day after Red Bull announced driver Sergio Perez will be leaving the team at the end of 2024.

The cascade of driver changes follows a bittersweet 2024 Grand Prix season in which Red Bull driver Max Verstappen won his fourth Drivers' Championship. Perez's lackluster performance since June resulted in Red Bull falling to third place in the Constructors' Championship. Combined drivers' Championship points determine the Constructors' title, which includes financial awards based primarily on the teams finishing order in points.
Liam Lawson as the second Red Bull driver
Lawson will be Max Verstappen's teammate. Red Bull hopes that Lawson can be a consistent point scorer, placing high enough that, combined with Verstappen's assumed continued dominance, the two drivers will snare the Constructors' title for the team.

Sergio Perez to leave Red Bull F1 team at the end of 2024
Perez is out and Liam Lawson will fill the vacant seat
Red Bull F1 driver Sergio Perez leaves the Red Bull team after 2024.

In a not-unexpected team change, F1 driver Sergio Perez will leave the F1 Red Bull  Racing team at the end of 2024. Red Bull management held the decision until after the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, but Perez had performed poorly for most of the second half of the 24-event 2024 Formula 1 season.
A difficult season for Perez and Red Bull
Perez was four-time World Champion driver Max Verstappen's teammate for four years. His best year was 2023, and Perez started strong in 2024. Red Bull renewed his driver contract in early June for two more years.

Unfortunately, after the extension, Perez's performance suffered. During the season, Red Bull Team Principal Christian Horner repeatedly stated that he still believed Checo, the driver's nickname, would get out of his slump and resume making substantial contributions to the team Constructors' Championship points total. But it didn't happen.
