The Aston Martin AMR25 represents the fourth consecutive season of Aston Martin-badged Formula 1 competition, an evolution of the AMR24 platform developed within the 2022-era technical regulations framework. Powered by a Mercedes-AMG F1 M15 E Performance 1.6-litre V6 turbo-hybrid unit, the AMR25 continues the team's long-standing Mercedes power supply agreement. Spark Model's 1:43 resin replica freezes this car at its very first competitive appearance of the season.
The AMR25: Aston Martin's 2025 Formula 1 Challenger
The AMR25 is an aerodynamic evolution of the AMR24, operating under the same regulatory framework introduced in 2022. Its Mercedes-AMG HPP power unit, the M15 E Performance hybrid, links the Silverstone-based constructor to one of Formula 1's most established engine programmes. The car carries the Aston Martin Aramco F1 Team name, reflecting title sponsorship from Saudi Aramco, a partnership that defines the team's commercial identity in 2025. The dark British Racing Green bodywork with lime green accents traces its visual lineage directly back to the AMR22 of 2022.
Round 1, Albert Park: Lance Stroll Opens the 2025 Season
The 2025 Australian Grand Prix at Albert Park Circuit, Melbourne, served as Round 1 of the FIA Formula 1 World Championship. Lance Stroll, carrying race number 18 as he has done throughout his Aston Martin tenure since 2019, lined up for his seventh season with the squad. The Canadian driver, born in 1998, is the son of team owner Lawrence Stroll, giving the AMR25 programme a particular continuity from the Racing Point era. The Australian GP livery represents the first competitive specification of the AMR25, making it the season-defining visual reference for 2025 team collectors.
Spark Model: The Reference Standard in 1:43 Resin
Spark Model is a French manufacturer whose 1:43 resin motorsport replicas are consistently regarded as the benchmark for race-specific livery accuracy. This piece reproduces Stroll's AMR25 number 18 as presented at Melbourne, including the Aramco and Cognizant sponsor graphics applied to the 2025 season livery. Resin construction allows Spark's craftsmen to reproduce complex aerodynamic surfaces — bargeboards, wing profiles, floor edges — with a fidelity that die-cast tooling rarely matches at this scale. The result is a model built for the serious Formula 1 collector rather than the casual buyer.
In the Display Cabinet: Building the Aston Martin F1 Arc
The AMR25 number 18 sits naturally alongside Spark's earlier Stroll releases — AMR22, AMR23 and AMR24 — forming a compact, completable driver collection in 1:43. The Australian GP version is the season opener, traditionally the first physical expression of a new year's livery, and therefore a priority piece for team-focused collections. It pairs equally well with the AMR25 number 14 Fernando Alonso Australian GP release to complete the two-car Melbourne entry for 2025. The consistent Spark format means all Aston Martin F1 models from AMR21 onwards align cleanly on the shelf.
