Chapter 1: What were the highlights of the Aston Martin F1 car launch?
Hello everybody and welcome back to the P1 Podcast with Matt and Tommy. You're probably sick of us at this point because we are throwing podcasts at you left, right and centre. It's our third car launch of the day and it's Aston Martin. And was it 20 minutes longer than it should have been? Absolutely. We're going to get into all of that and more, don't you worry.
Lots of laughs and things to joke about in this one. But before we do... We realized this quite late as well. It's actually our third birthday. So the first YouTube video we ever put up was three years ago today. So that's where we're counting our birthday from. So thank you for the continued support on this P1 crazy adventure.
And look, as a little birthday present, if you haven't subscribed, please do. No, Tommy, it's free.
Exactly, yeah. I can't believe it's been three years. It's absolutely insane. That first day we launched, if you were around then, you'd know how incredible it was. If you're new, welcome. Thank you for the amazing support that we've had. We've said it so many times. We said it when we recently got our amazing award, and we do so many thank yous, but we do generally mean it so much.
It's insane how amazing it's been, and the three years have just flown by, to be honest.
It has. It's absolutely flown. So I kind of need to just stop in my tracks a little bit and just sort of, you know, sometimes I'll just sit there and go, I should probably just, I'm 33 years old. I'm doing this. Otherwise, life just passes you by, eh, Tommy? But that's not what we're talking about today.
Because this car launch did not pass us by very quickly because it kept being repeated repeatedly. It didn't go too well for Aston Martin, who are, I know a lot of Formula One teams are premium brands, but you would say Aston Martin are probably right at the top in terms of how they go and do their business. And they wanted a big, lavish car launch. And that's what they did.
It was an amazing staging that they'd set up for their car reveal. And the live stream had an absolute meltdown. We absolutely lost it. First and foremost, we tuned in, the F1 stream completely muted. We went over to then Sky Sports. After it was really late already. Yeah, it was late, wasn't it? Yeah, you can imagine things were going wrong already.
And then I imagine they've gone, look, we're five, ten minutes late. We're just going to have to press play and see what happens. And turns out seeing what happens was not the best idea because it did not go well. It was muted on the F1 channel. It wasn't muted on Sky Sports, which is what we were watching on. It was at the start, and then... Then they just ripped the cable out.

Chapter 2: What technical issues occurred during the Aston Martin F1 car reveal?
I don't think they got the colour green right and it looked black on Aston.
on tv and we said it wasn't very good they've got the green like nailed now it's really really nice and yeah they've tried to like they do the occasional thing where they mix it up they've now put like a black side pod on it with the um electric yellowy green like the neon green um which i would have loved to have seen more of uh based on the kind of overalls that they shared and the fact that a lot of the branding that they shared beforehand had like the logo in that color and things and i thought they were maybe going to use that a bit more
um but it's it's nice like it's not it's not changed a huge amount um but i can see why because they've got it nailed and it's still a beautiful beautiful livery um even if it's not on which we'll talk about later the car that uh is probably will be it might fit the real car better maybe as well
Perhaps, yeah. I really love Delivery. I remember when it first got unveiled, we were losing our minds, like, this is so cool. Yeah, I like the little details, and I agree with you, Tommy, in the sense of it would have been nice to see a little bit more of that What is it?
I don't know.
It's like a weird green or is it yellow? But I struggle with colours anyway. But either or, I like that sort of detail on it. I'm not a massive fan of the pure blue rear wing. I liked what they did last year where it was... It was still a Ramco, but they had like green fading into blue. I felt like that merged with the car a little bit nicer.
They've changed the air box from white last year to black this year, which I think works reasonably well.
Also, if you want your logo, I thought this about the Barclays, sorry, that you mentioned about the light blue. You just made me think about this, like looking at this picture we're looking at now. A white logo on light blue does not pop. You cannot see the logo at all. You'd think you'd want something a bit different.
That's why they probably did the fade last year, because you can at least read it a bit better. But overall, it's a very, very strong livery. The hubcaps, is that new, the Celsius thing? that they've put on.
